It is a matter of record [53] that IBM's approach to LVM was rejected by Linus Torvalds in favor of a different approach. Accordingly, even if we were to stipulate that IBM had access to old SCO's LVM technology, any attempted misappropriation came to naught.
That was a different matter; EVMS vs LVM. And even there Linus was and is wrong. The Linux implementation is "good enough" and linux as an OS can probably live with it. It is just a little sad that "good enough" is enough sometimes, esp. when the alternative is not harder to implement.
But this is getting pretty off-topic.

evil. The worst that can be said is that he's an underachiever.
