"The resolution was *not* that Linux didn't contain the code: it was
that the disputed code wasn't SCO's in the first place. In the world of
free and open source software, nobody much took the lawsuit seriously in
the first place"

Liam, this *is* a troll article which deserves no attention at all. As
you well may know, no source code from the Unix system SCO claimed to
own the copyright to was ever found in Linux, *ever*, *at all* ....

The only "source code" ever brought forward as documentation were
unprotectable header files. So, someone who can write a statement as in
the above must be either ignorant or deliberately misleading.
