[Gartner] also suggested that companies should perform due diligence on Linux-i.e., inspect the source code and attempt to verify its integrity-and consult with their legal departments before deployment.
Verify its integrity? IANAL, but this sounds like before using Linux, I should compare the Linux source code with Unix source code, to make sure there's no match. But, how am I supposed to get the Unix source code? I must not understand "attempt to verify its integrity". -jcf ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lionel Dyck" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Thursday, May 29, 2003 8:30 AM Subject: Gartner hedges on Linux > http://www.esj.com/news/article.asp?EditorialsID=566 > -------------------------------------------------------------------- > Lionel B.
