Okay,
I went source browsing today. I didn't find anything with SCO fingerprints on it in 2.4.20.
Greg Page of Caldera has a lot of fingerprints in there (without warranty), but who knows just how long that has been in there (i.e. - prior to 2.4).
The 2.4 SMP document thanks Caldera for their contribution:
"The author wishes to thank Caldera Inc. ( http://www.caldera.com )whose donation of an ASUS dual Pentium board made this project possible, and Thomas Radke, whose initial work on multiprocessor Linux formed the backbone of this project.
So that is the clue where SMP came from - and it wasn't Caldera.
http://lxr.linux.no/source/Documentation/smp.tex#L27
"Much of the core SMP work is based on previous work by Thomas Radke, to whom a great many thanks are extended. Thanks to Intel for making available several different Pentium, Pentium Pro and Pentium-II/Xeon MP machines. Original development of Linux SMP code supported by Caldera. This code is released under the GNU General Public License version 2 or later."
http://lxr.linux.no/source/arch/x86_64/kernel/smpboot.c#L13
So, Caldera supported this work, and yet it was "stolen" from them. This is a scammer's delight I suppose. A Story Stock indeed.
Wonder how long they can keep their stories straight? Especially in front of CS&M and a Judge and Jury? How will they be able to go into depositions or testimony and try to FUD their contradictory statements?
ANSWER: They can't.
SHALL WE PLAY A GAME?
