    The term abi is a very general one.

    SCO is now discussing about the "general" "unix" abi code in linux
    (looking at the headers files, they talk about signals, interfaces,
    ....).

    This has nothing to do with linux-abi. linux-abi has never been part of
    any linux kernel (it's a separate patch).

    Maybe linux-abi was a unfortunate/too general name for that patch.
