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 find the in-line advertising in this article to be reprehensible. Eugenia, I think you will drive people away from your site if you continue with intrusive advertising such as this. For an example of what I am talking about, the word "system" in the first line of the paragraph after the editorial note is underlined as a hyperlink. When I hovered over it, an advertisement appeared! Well, it didn't take me long to add "127.0.0.1 itxt.vibrantmedia.com", "127.0.0.1 vibrantmedia.com", & "127.0.0.1 www.vibrantmedia.com" to my hosts file, and the ads were gone!
