Story: SCO keeps disputed code secret
Posted by: Richard Corfield (Tuesday 16 December 2003, 3:59 PM)
How about releasing file, version and line numbers of the disputed code. That surely can't be a trade secret, and its the least they can do to help the accused. Wasn't there some principle that in a copyright dispute the accused should be allowed to try to stop infringing?
The statement that revealing the code will prevent SCO capitalising on potential future revenue is like a kidnapper stating that revealing the location of the hostages would prevent them claiming ransom. After all - we must uphold the rights of all individuals, including kidnappers, to earn revenue without restriction, regardless of any ethical or legal issues around how they choose to do it!
