mugnyte writes "Those tireless folks at groklaw have transcribed and 
published the documents from the latest IBM/SCO hearing. In it, the 
exact lines of the supposed Dynix / AIX / Linux logic are given. SCO 
claimed that Linux's read copy update, journaling file system, 
enterprise volume management system, AIO (Asynchronous I/O), and 
"scatter gather" I/O code had been derived from either AIX or 
Dynix/ptx. Now we can take a look at what SCO thinks makes Linux an 
enterprise-ready platform started at 2.4, stealing away their market 
share. However, IBM released these things under the GPL ... so what 
license did IBM really have from SCO to do this? Which raises the 
question, What license did SCO have from Novell to disallow this?"
