News Linux community pours scorn on SCO

From VNUnet:

Users and analysts have poured scorn on SCO's claim that it owns so much of the code in Linux that to remove it would cause the operating system to collapse.

Speaking at the company's SCOForum in Las Vegas, chief executive Darl McBride said: "Taking out that code would be like trying to take out the middle 30 floors of a 60-storey building."

But Mike Davis, senior researcher at Butler Group, responded: "This is totally fatuous. Linux is not analogous to a building. The code only crumbles when it's being run, not while it's being written or compiled."

one day there gonna realise that their not gonna get a penny from them, that day their share prices are gonna plumet and that stupid company liquidated, linux has been around for years why only now, because now its economically viable. if they win (which their not going to) they could make a lot of money, and they cant tell us they only found out about it now. because the code has been there for years and its been available for anyone for years.
