copyright assertion == claim of ownership, or posession. posession is 9/10 of the law. was it petty of UCB to claim copyrights over code USL claimed ownersip of? was it also petty of Novell to claim that they, and not SCO, owned the copyright to UNIX? sorry, but calling attribution claims of any sort "petty" is nothing short of dangerous ignorance. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] SDF Public Access UNIX System - http://sdf.lonestar.org - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
