It's Official: SCO Declares IP Jihad on Linux

Linux Distributions
Well, it seems to be official. After more rumblings, denials of
rumblings, rumblings about the denials of rumblings, SCO is now playing
hardball (or is that harderball?). The beleagured Linux company formerly
known as Caldera is now claiming that some UNIX code is hidden in the
Linux kernel, but will not release the information Free Software
developers need to try to fix the problem. Instead, SCO CEO Darl McBride
refuses to release that information out of fear the community would
"launder the evidence."
