SGI's open letter r.e. SCO by bucy at 11:54 am EDT, Oct 2, 2003 |
] SCO's references to XFS are completely misplaced. XFS is ] an innovative SGI- created work. It is not a derivative ] work of System V in any sense, and SGI has full rights to ] license it to whomever we choose and to contribute it to ] open source. It may be that SCO is taking the position ] that merely because XFS is also distributed along with ] IRIX it is somehow subject to the System V license. But ] if so, this is an absurd position, with no basis either ] in the license or in common sense. In fact, our UNIX ] license clearly provides that SGI retains ownership and ] all rights as to all code that was not part of AT&Ts UNIX ] System V. |
