Story: SCO keeps disputed code secret
Posted by: Rob Levin (Wednesday 17 December 2003, 5:36 PM)
It's not worrisome that SCO haven't revealed copyright infringements; they must do so to protect their intellectual property. IANAL but, as I understand it, if they haven't sought repair of the infringement, their case for damages is very weak.
Kernel hackers are waiting to see the code so that they can remove any infringing code. That is what they are supposed to do. SCO have not made it possible for them to do so yet. They are supposed to do that.
The law won't allow a complaintant to block infringers from correcting the infringement in order to maximize their damages.
