Defending the Originality of Linux

Article from News.com.

"..the letters being sent out [by SCO]--urging companies to stop using Linux or to pay SCO license fees--listed for the first time more than 65 software files that 'have been copied verbatim from our copyrighted Unix code and contributed to Linux.'

"'Some of these files were written by me directly,' Torvalds said in an e-mail exchange, and so were not contributed to the Linux project by third parties, including IBM, which is being sued by SCO."

It's unsurprising that SCO thinks that everyone else is out to steal their 'intellectual property', since they are trying to steal the 'intellectual property' of others, claiming it was stolen from them...

Thieves don't trust anyone. Even unsuccessful thieves.
