Comment "Flawed Open Source Model" (Score 1) 724
"This improper contribution of Unix code by SGI into Linux is one small example that reveals fundamental structural flaws in the Linux development process. In fact, this issue goes to the very heart of whether Open Source can be trusted as a development model for enterprise computing software."
What has been bothering me most about this whole fiasco is that SCO constantly calls the OSS model flawed because copy righted code May have been inserted into the LINUX kernel. There is no greater chance of copy righted code getting into LINUX than any other OS or Program. The only reason that SCO could have found the copy righted coded is because of the very nature of OSS. If LINUX was a proprietary OS they would never have a chance to see misappropriated code. They act like no as if no proprietary software company would ever violate a copy right.
