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.

Why is this guy keep on bothering OSS??? If he is a programmer and the good one, for sure he won't lost his job to any of OSS programmer. Can he imagine how many programmer still having a good income working under closed source software company such as Microsoft? Unless he himself just know how troll while wotking.
Furthermore, Christian for sure encourage the follower to donate. So if the OSS programmer willingly donate his works why must the others bother about it? I you don't like to donate then don't donate!!! If you are complaining because some licence such as GPL prohibited you from stealing
other's code, it is better for you to work under other closed source platform such as Windows, Mac, Solaris, QNX etc.
I hope SCO will lost so that the others with opportunist thinking will learn a lessons. There must be no way of getting easy money from others works!!!
