SCO, Caldera, Unixware 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? This is EXACTLY what SCO wants. Furthermore, what could IBM gain from doing so other than silencing some noise?

Really, SCO should be left to disintegrate like it deserves to do.
