SCO suits target two big Linux users
On a follow up to Thomas' post below regarding SCO pressure on companies that heavily rely on Linux, SCO has filed a lawsuit against Autozone, an auto parts retailer and automaker DaimlerChrysler:

The software company alleges that AutoZone "violated SCO's Unix copyrights by running versions of the Linux operating system that contain code, structure, sequence and/or organization from SCO's proprietary Unix System V code in violation of SCO's copyrights," it said in a statement released on Wednesday.

Spokesman Blake Stowell said on Wednesday that SCO also filed suit against DaimlerChrysler in Michigan's Oakland County Circuit Court for alleged violations of the automotive company's Unix software agreement with SCO.

SCO gets 45 days to turn over offending code to IBM

Quote:
SCO has 45 days to identify "all specific lines of code" they allege IBM put into Linux from AIX or Dynix; identify and provide "with specificity all lines of code in Linux that it claims rights to; provide and identify with specificity the lines of code that SCO distributed to other parties, and this is to include "where applicable the conditions of release, to whom the code was released, the date and under what circumstances such code was released."

Leaked email suggests a SCO-Microsoft link

This should spawn a few conspiracy theories.
