A federal judge on Thursday gutted SCO Group’s $5 billion, Linux-related lawsuit against IBM – renewing debate about the Utah company’s future.
Concluding a six-week review, U.S. District Judge Dale Kimball upheld federal Magistrate Brooke Wells’ June decision to strike down two-thirds of SCO’s allegations. The Lindon-based software company contends IBM violated its contract and copyrights when it allegedly leaked SCO-owned Unix code into the freely-distributed Linux operating system.
