In the AutoZone suit, SCO sets out details of several Linux technologies it believes infringes on its System V Unix copyrights. The list includes many basic parts of operating system functions: System V static shared libraries; System V dynamic shared libraries; System V interprocess communication mechanisms including semaphores, message queues and shared memory; enhanced reliable signal processing; System V file system switch interface; virtual file system capabilities; process scheduling classes, including real-time support; asynchronous input/output; file system quotas; support for Lightweight Processes (kernel threads); user level threads; and loadable kernel modules.

Tell me, what Operating System that isn't specifically derived from the CPM from which MS-DOS, PC-DOS and DR DOS derive, and in turn Win9x, doesn't fall under those statements. VMS, anybody? z/VM? z/OS? QNX? Windows XP? Apollo? Multics? Music?
it is an act of cowardice to NOT support those defamed in such a way.

organization from SCO's proprietary UNIX System V code in violation of
SCO's copyrights.
