SCO files for bankrupcy ( chapter 11 ) SCO and its CEO Darl McBride will remain famous for having claimed back in September 2003 : We counted over a million lines of code that we allege are infringed in the Linux kernel today After a very long trial, their case was basically dismissed … and now they have no money left ! This is an insane situation … IBM, Novell and others gave away millions to their lawyers, because they could simply not ask SCO “show us which lines are infringed in the Linux kernel”
Anyway, I cannot resist quoting Linus Torvalds : “If Darl McBride was in charge, he’d probably make marriage unconstitutional too, since clearly it de-emphasizes the commercial nature of normal human interaction, and probably is a major impediment to the commercial growth of prostitution.”
