A Groklaw ma postázott egy érdekes információt: Erik W. Hughes SCO alkalmazott vallomását, miszerint a UnixWare Linux Kernel Personality (LKP) (a UnixWare azon része, amely lehetővé teszi linuxos alkalmazások futtatását - trey) tartalmaz Linux kernel kódot valamilyen formában.Hogy pontosan hogyan, az nem teljesen tiszta. A UnixWare a SCO licencét használja, míg a Linux a GPL-t, ami pedig előírja, hogy a programot, amiben felhasználják a Linux kódot szintén ilyen licenc alatt kell kiadni. Így már érthető, miért is mondta az SCO, hogy a GPL alkotmányellenes. Kíváncsi leszek, ha mindez bebizonyosodik mi fog történni az SCO-val.
"Q. To your knowledge, do any of the other products -- or do any of the products listed on Page 16, in addition to Linux Technology Preview, include the 2.4 kernel?
A: There was a release of SCO LinuxWare release 7.1.2 that included the Linux kernel personality and SCO Linux-release 7.1.3 included the Linux kernel personality. At first when it first shipped it did include the Linux kernel packages which were subsequently removed.
Q: Which kernel packages did they include?
A: The Linux kernel packages. I -- I don't know which specific ones.
Q: Would it have been a Version 2.4 or higher?
A: Yes.
Q: During what period of time did those products -- that is, the Linux kernel personality -- include the Linux kernel? . . .
A: UnixWare 7 Release 7.1.2 shipped somewhere after the consummation of the transaction between Caldera and acquiring the assets from SCO, so the date is late 2001 or early 2002.
Q: Okay. And what about 7.1.3? . . .
A: Yes. It -- 7.1.3 included the Linux operating system, including the Linux kernel packages, until SCO suspended Linux and removed those packages from the media kit.
Q: Which was when?
A: Which was May of last year.
Q: So until May of last year, Unix -- those two UnixWare 7 releases included the Linux kernel?
A: That's correct."
