The Linux 2.2.x kernel was able to scale to 2-4 processors. With Linux 2.4.x and the 2.5.x development kernel, Linux now scales to 32 and 64 processors through the addition of advanced Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) capabilities taken from UNIX System V and derivative works, in violation of SCO's contract agreements and copyrights." To my understanding, this hasn't been proven... most of what I have read says otherwise. If this is proven false in the IBM lawsuit, wouldn't this statement become grounds for a libel lawsuit on behalf of the authors of this functionality? --eric (speaking in my own capacity, not Maxtor's obviously) -----Original Message----- From: Gabor MICSKO [mailto:gmicsko@szintezis.hu] Sent: Monday, July 21, 2003 11:10 AM To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: SCO offers UnixWare licenses for Linux http://lwn.net/Articles/40526/ interesting. -- Windows not found (C)heers, (P)arty or (D)ance? ----------------------------------- Micsk?
