Hi, my name is Randall. I'm a former employee of SCO, formerly
Caldera Systems. I've had the opportunity to use OpenBSD for the
first time, and was highly impressed with it's great balance of
security and ease of use. I was so interested that I decided to
download the source code and take a look inside. Then I started to
notice familiarities, deja vu if you will. It didn't really dawn on
me until I saw a simple comment: // remove this function, debug only
-- Randall

Now, with all the Linux/SCO nonsense going on (don't worry, I think
the code being stolen from SCO is hogwash), I couldn't believe it.
Here in front of my face was real stolen code from SCO Unix in
OpenBSD. I didn't even know how to react. I decided posting this
anonymously was the best way to go. Rather than try anything legal
(since I'm no longer employed at SCO group), posting this and letting
everyone decide for themselves (because, let's face it, most people
won't listen to this) is my best option for clearing my conscience.
Go, look for it. It's there.
