Thread: SCO: "80% of Linux was copied directly from UNIX"

    SCO: "80% of Linux was copied directly from UNIX"

    You may have read about the SCO vs IBM case:
    SCO claimed that IBM had, without authorization, contributed SCO's intellectual property to the codebase of the open source, Unix-like Linux operating system.
    SCO just put out a new press release. This is bad... very bad:
    LINDON, Utah (EAP) April 1, 2006 - In a stunning announcement, Utah-based SCO Group has released detailed information revealing that 80% of Linux was copied directly from UNIX.
    Here's their proof:
