[CLUE-Talk] Copyright of SCO source code

[Dennis J Perkins]

If my understanding of copyright law is correct, copyrighting the source 
code means that there is a copy at the copyright office.  Is that 
viewable by the public, even if it can't be copied in most cases?

If Linux source code is published before SCO's source, who holds the 
copyright for identical parts?  The Linux code was publicly available 
first.  Trade secrets don't enjoy the protection of copyright law.
