This is probably why SCO refuses to tell anyone what the offending code is. They know that once it is identified, it will get rewritten and their multi-billion dollar extortion effort will vanish in the blink of an IP. But from reading the claims, they seem to believe that they own the *idea* of Unix. I just wish that IBM would stomp on them soon. The waiting is not helping anyone at this point. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
