Torvalds Slams SCO
Topic: Technology 12:56 pm EDT, Aug 22, 2003

] eWEEK: For its part though, SCO has said that there are
] so many lines of code, and a variety of applications and
] devices that use that code, that simply removing the
] offending code would not be technically feasible or
] possible and would not solve the problem. Do you agree?
]
] Torvalds: They are smoking crack. Their slides said there
] are [more than] 800,000 lines of SMP code that are
] "infringing," and they are just off their rocker. The SMP
] code was written by a number of Linux people I know well
] (I did a lot of the SMP IRQ scalability myself,
] personally), so their claims are just ludicrous. And they
] claim they own JFS [journaled file system technology]
] too. Whee. They're not shy about claiming ownership of
] other people's code
