Open-Source Community Approaches SCO. Members of the open-source community have approached The SCO Group with a proposal that they hope will allow them to look at the alleged offending Unix code in the Linux kernel either without or under a less restrictive non-disclosure agreement. [Technology News from eWEEK and Ziff Davis] Sounds like a good idea. The linux community is offering to remove the offending code. In a typical copyright action, the infringer is given the opportunity to 'cure' the infringement. In this case that would mean removing SCO code from the linux kernel. SCO seems to have no interest in this course which could mean that there is no copied code in the kernel or that SCO's actual aim is not to get its code out of Linux but to discredit and destroy the operating system. 8:57:23 AM
