We reveal major UNIX IP violations

OwlWhacker writes “This week The SCO Group hinted that BSD distributions would be next under the Utah microscope. SCO carefully safeguards the intellectual property rights to UNIX and has demonstrated its willingness to defend them by suing IBM for $3 billion damages for letting this IP seep into Linux. SCO this week said it was “examining” the AT&T settlement to see who might have leaked the ancient AT&T-derived UNIX code and put it into a BSD distribution. Allowing such hallowed innovations to be used under an open source license, would, we agreed thoroughly devalue SCO’s IP assets.”
