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.

Whoever buys SCO and UNIX, IF someone does and they want to contribute back to the linux community I hope they do not GPL the Unix Source code, because with the royalty payments they can finally funnel some cash to Linux development with those payments, unless the company gets greedy. And I do think they should keep Microsoft paying and wouldnt that be cool, Microsoft paying Red Hat or IBM.
