On March 7th 2003, the SCO Group filed a lawsuit against IBM for misappropriation of tradesecrets and contractual agreements. The scope of SCOs complaint is that IBM introduced parts of Unix System V and Project Monterey into the Linux kernel. Project Monterey was a effort to port IBM's AIX 5L onto the Intel Itanium platform, IBM withdrew from that project for reasons unknown according to the press, I believe that it was because the Itanium is a bomb.

I think that was about the best article I have ever read on this site. Great job. Thank you.
IF SCO was honest, SCO could just provide the specific line numbers, in the specific Linux kernel. SCO absolutely refuses to do anything of the sort. This NDA deal is the most blatant "stacked deck" PR stunt I have ever seen. Unbelievable that anybody could be stupid enough to fall for it.
SCOX is a small and desperate company, they do not have a viable business plan, or a competitive product. SCO has been losing money and market share for years. Their Linux bashing is laughable.
The only chance SCOX has to survive is to keep winning lawsuits.
