(I think they simply reasserted that the code came from SysV. Didn’t address question about contract with Torvalds, except to start a sentence with “We have done e-mail exchanges with…”, and leave it hanging.) McBride: We agree with what Torvalds has written to date, i.e., that the case was (then) a contract dispute with IBM, but it’s a new case today.
