AFAIK, Unix is a major part of it. Without the Unix claim, there could be no Linux claim. Particularly for IBM, SCO has claims that portions of AIX, the rights to which are claimed to belong to SCO, have been put into the Linux community by IBM.


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.
