WRT to the SCO/IBM/Linux imbroglio, there was an interesting assertion made on the Yahoo! Finance message board for SCOX, and I wondered if anyone could shed some light.
The assertion is this:
"...among other things, the Berkeley Packet Filter code, which was written by an independent developer for the Missouri School District, licensed under the BSD license terms that never was part of SysV at any time..."
When I made reference to man 4 bpf not mentioning anything/anyone other than Carnegie-Mellon, Stanford, and LBL, I was corrected and told that the OP was refering to the BPF code within Linux, even though that was done without mentioning Linux specifically :-/
Is this a true assertion: that "..the BPF code [in Linux] was written..for the Missouri School District [sic]"?
TIA..
