Why do you think a lot of code in scsiport.sys, shell32.dll and ntoskrnl.exe
were copied from Windows? Although I didn't personally write all the code in
the components you mention, I'm confident that it wasn't copied from Windows
but written from scratch. BTW, most of the shell32 code was copied from
Wine, so if you accuse us of copyright infringement you're also accusing
Wine of copyright infringement.

Sorry, no clue what you mean here.

Please provide specific references, examples of exactly which functions you
claim were copied from Windows.

If you can backup your claims with proof, please show us the proof. If you
can't show any proof, please go back to working for SCO.
