Comment Re:Replacing the Code (Score 1) 622
Once again I have to remind the slashdot crowd that replacing the offending code *now* is not sufficient to relieve you of all damages up until now.
I agree with what you say to some degree. Removing code now does not relieve someone from damages in the past. However, because this is true, there is no reason for SCO not to release details about the infringement. In fact, if they were really concerned about removing the IP infringement that they claim exists, they should be happy to provide details so that they are no longer being harmed.
They obviously do not want to do this since they can claim they are still being harmed. This increases the amount of damage they can claim in lawsuits as well as giving them an excuse to sell licenses.
