This is a problem between IBM and SCO, not between the kernel community and SCO. So let the justice decide if SCO is right or not, and if SCO claims are valid IBM probably will take the code out, or fix the problems in some way. SCO has failed to provide evidences of their claims (no, people don't believe you) so there's not point in removing a single line of code until that happens. A "list of files Darl says you should remove" will be ignored because that's not a proof. I could claim I own all the code under lib/, but obviously nobody would listen me if I don't prove something, which is the main problem SCO seem to have...from the numbers I read from the news SCO claims don't seem to be harming the linux market either, so who cares? Redhat/Novell are free to remove/modify whatever code they want, just in the same way redhat don't enables NTFS support or provide mp3 players by default. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
