AFAIK, Unix is a major part of it. Without the Unix claim, there could

As I understand the situation ... SCO actually does own 'UNIX' ... they
are claiming that Linux contains code originally from Unix (although
they have yet to provide any actual proof).
That's my understanding as well. I chose my wording to acknowlege
Novell's(? I think) counter-claim that added some mud to the waters. I
haven't heard any resolution there yet and I'm pretty sure it wasn't
tossed or dismissed as a nuisance suit.
Always fun when multiple big guys start going at it.
