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.

> Should you switch Operating Systems or slow down Linux deployments? <
Absolutely NOT! I think that _current_ users should stick with Linux if they are using it in their enterprise: There was no way of knowing whether kernel.org offered tainted sources. This argument renders enterprises immune to any possible SCO attack IMHO. However, I would advise enterprises that consider deploying Linux to wait until SCO has been obliterated in court.
