So far, all SCOG has told us about why they sued Autozone is: "The basis for SCO's belief is the precision and efficiency with which the migration to Linux occurred, which suggests the use of shared libraries to run legacy applications on Linux."

A few weeks ago Jim Greer, who was a Sr. Technical Advisor at AutoZone, and headed the project there to switch to Linux, posted to Groklaw. Here is the link.

He said: "No SCO libraries were involved in the porting activity."

As usual, SCOG has not named any specific SCOG shared library that Autozone used at any specific place in its programs. If they run true to form, they will defy court orders compelling them to provide this information.
