| Why doesn't someone just get rid of the allegedly patented code in linux? I'm sure it wouldn't be that hard for a talented linux programmer to re-code the functionallity that the dubious code provides... i mean, people are saying its only 100-200 lines of code.... thats nothing!
BTW - Where is this code supposed to be? in the linux kernel, or in the sysvinit program? | |

| I don't think there are just 100-200 lines of code can build the Linux kernel | |

| no i mean there are only 100-200 lines of "SCO" code, i.e the disputed stuff. it would be a piece of piss to re-write just those lines to avoid so-called copyright violations | |

| It is going to be more than a couple of hundred lines of code. Have a look at the last paragraph of:

With that laundry list, it is going to be way over a couple of hundred lines... |
