I'd like to see the list (as well as knowing which kernel version the list comes from) as would many others, I suspect.

SCO Just sent over a list of contaminated files with a "bill of health" certification for Linux that if we remove the identified files they will certify our Linux distribution as clean. They are also sending out some form of statement that we are not affiliated with them, and that we are competitors of SCO since we use Linux. They claim the following and I have a listing of files, lines numbers, etc. they told us we must remove in order for our Linux appliances to be considered "clean." This info might be useful to others. They have a cert program to remove the areas.
Here it is. I can get the line numbers of the file and their names if anyone needs it, but the list is very big.
RCU 46 files 109,688 lines
NUMA 101 files 56,587 lines
JFS 44 files 32,224 lines
XFS 173 Files 119,130 lines
SMP 1,185 files 829,393 lines
Total files/lines they [allege] contains SCO source code 1,549 files 1,147,022 lines
If you guys want the specific line numbers and filenames, I will ask them to post the specific filenames/line numbers they claim are theirs. They stated we can ship Linux with fear of being sued if we comply with their Linux Certification Program.
