According to an article here:
http://slashdot.org/articles/03/05/01/2332226.shtml?tid=167&tid=99
SCO-Caldera Senior Vice President Chris Sontag explicitly says that the
kernel.org kernel is *not* tainted, but that that other stuff that Red Hat and
SuSE are including *is*.
Quote from the interview:
"Chris Sontag: We're not talking about the Linux kernel that Linus and others
have helped develop. We're talking about what's on the periphery of the Linux
kernel."
He doesn't specify exactly what he's talking about, but he makes an interesting
claim:
"Chris Sontag: We are using objective third parties to do comparisons of our
UNIX System V [SCO-owned Unix] source code and Red Hat as an example. We are
coming across many instances where our proprietary software has simply been
copied and pasted or changed in order to hide the origin of our System V code in
Red Hat. This is the kind of thing that we will need to address with many Linux
distribution companies at some point."
