<Hans Bayer Supervised Dumping SVR4 Code Into Linux
In message 66926, I documented how SCO Linux 4.0 (a.k.a. UnitedLinux 1.0) contains the linux-abi patch with headers for System V system calls, all with "Caldera Deutschland" copyright notices AND a GPL license.

In the slides shown at the March 7, 2007 hearing, http://www.sco.com/company/legal/update/website2.3.pdf Andy Nagle is quoted as saying:
" SCO never placed any language on the UnitedLinux 1.0 material or the SCO Linux Server 4.0 material indicating that SCO granted any license or rights to such material under the GPL or any other ‘open source’ license.”
Yet somebody at the Caldera Deutschland subsidiary in Erlangen, Germany, was doing just that. Who was the "Managing Director" of this subsidiary at the time of these unlawful code releases?
It was Hans Bayer.
