    Here's an interesting quote, From Mozillaquest magazine, Feb 5, 2003:

    MozillaQuest Magazine: Regarding binfmt_coff, abi-util, lcall7,
    abi-svr4, abi-sco; are any of these modules SCO IP?

    Blake Stowell: No, none of the code in the Linux ABI modules contains
    SCO IP. This code is under the GPL and it re-implements publicly
    documented interfaces. We do not have an issue with the Linux ABI
    modules.

    What are SCO claiming now: that the ABI code in Linux violates SCO's IP.

    Once again, I ask the fence-sitters: at what point do you actively
    DISBELIEVE SCO's claims? Surely any doubt that SCO's management are
    lying has to have gone now?
