A small Anniversary note
Authored by: PJ on Friday, May 17 2013 @ 10:09 PM EDT
Dude!

Well, I understand your reasons. But...

: )

That was in fact SCO's problem. It did find
similar or identical code, but the tool they
used lacked any provenance info, and they
never bothered to do that part, and the only
people who had done it realized there was no
there there.

If you would be willing to email me with the
particulars, I promise not to publish it, unless
someday some other donkey shows up making a
claim on it. I'm just curious. And I'd write
to you before I published, to make sure you
were comfortable. But this is history that I
lived so closely, I sorta can't stand not to
know.

I do not get it.
Wouldn't it have been possible to get this info in the open without you being
dragged through court?
For instance anonymously ?
(I understand that you wouldn't want to go to court and such)
I am wondering about this , actually flabbergasted.
It is not I want to blame you, moreover thank you for contributing to linux, but
"?!"
As you say saving tons of time, money
and reputation. Or a smaller part of it.
