SCO Releases "Offending Code"

>From LinuxWorld:

BREAKING NEWS - "Offending Code" Specified

(December 22, 2003) - On December 19, in a letter reproduced here, SCO named
the files that it contends breach its IP. The next move is expected to come
this week from the Linux kernel developers.

Linus Responds

>From Groklaw.net:

"Linus' First Analysis of the Files"

Linus has taken a quick look at the files and has given permission for us to
publish his first analysis. There will be more to say later, but the bottom
line is that SCO appears to have made a copyright claim to some files that
Linus wrote himself. I'll let him tell you about it, by reproducing his
initial email to me from earlier today.
