Although our notes from yesterday's session include the words of "subset" and "Linux kernel" - and so do notes of our colleagues - we're assured that this was a ZDNetification of the truth. It's all very odd - as we were even given detailed figures - but the word is now to disregard these completely.
Kienhoefer says that instead of taking a slice of the Linux kernel source, SCO has implemented a clean room set of interfaces. There's no Linux code there, so there's no obligation to publish anything GPL. That said, SCO will probably make source code available around October. The full LKP is scheduled for release by the end of the year.-- SCO PR, 2000-08-23
