SCO's display of code it alleges was copied into the Linux kernel by IBM -- a piece of evidence critical to its US$3 billion lawsuit against Big Blue -- has come under fire from Linux advocates who claim the code shown was released under an open-source licence several years ago.
Unix company was gathering information to support a court order to silence individuals related to its open-source legal case against IBM.
SCO's litigation over Linux was hugely unpopular, but there was a big upside, according to the chief executive of Open Source Development Labs.
As pictures of contested Linux code made their way around the Web, open-source enthusiasts scoffed at claims by The SCO Group that the code shows it has legal rights over parts of the popular operating system.
Nokia said Wednesday its patented technology may be freely used in the Linux kernel, making the Finnish cell phone giant the newest computing company to begin offering intellectual property protections to open-source programmers.
SCO Group Chief Executive Darl McBride said a published report that his company may take legal action against Linux founder Linus Torvalds was overstated.
The latest version of the 2.4-series kernel for the open-source operating system is released amid controversy over components in the Linux code.
Although Linus Torvalds didn't meet a goal to release the upcoming version of the operating system in June, the Linux leader says a test version could come as soon as next week.
Cheap shot or brilliant tactical move? Whichever the case, one can't help but question the timing of the SCO Group's latest legal wrangle.
Linus Torvalds has released the last update to the current Linux development kernel, and says he will now turn his attention to the next version of the operating system core.
Updated code for the heart of current Linux products was released Friday, in the first major revamp to the kernel since November.
