If you are worried about it, you really should look into what happened during the lawsuit between Bellcore/USL and UC berkely. Basically they removed all the offending parts from BSD and then rewrote them from scratch. That is why there is a 4.4 lite BSD, it was they after settlement release. It wasn't a full unix anymore, but it had enough to start from again. From that core, you get the *BSD systems. The worst that will happen is a judge will deem certain parts as infringing and order them removed. At which time the functionality will be replaced by originally written code. No problems. So far the only chance of finding infringing code from SCO to linux was donated by a caldera employee. And do remember Caldera purchased the Unix code and then changed names to the SCO group. It isn't even the people who used to write and maintain it. The real fun is when the judge goes in and finds the infringing code in SCO's linux compatibility code that caldera employees have rumored about. If the GPL is enforceable, then all of the historical unix code would fall under GPL then and the lawsuit will blow away in a poof of logic. -- Steven Critchfield <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ Asterisk-Users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
