D-Day Arrives for SCO
After more than two and a half years, SCO must finally turn over to the U.S. District Court in Utah any proof it has that there’s Unix code in Linux.
Back on June 16, 2003, Mark J. Heise, a Miami-based partner in The SCO Group Inc.’s law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP and complex commercial litigation specialist, said, “Through contributing AIX source code to Linux and using Unix methods to accelerate and improve Linux as a free operating system, with the resulting destruction of Unix, IBM has clearly demonstrated its misuse of Unix source code and has violated the terms of its contract with SCO.”
Since then, however, SCO’s attempts to prove that there is Unix code in Linux have come to little.
