Story: SCO files suit in Linux-using court

Ziff Davis has been fooled. Read the lawsuit submission carefully. SCO is *not* suing AutoZone for using Linux, they are suing AutoZone for (supposedly) violating their SCO Unix license. This has NOTHING to do with their seperate, unsubstantiated claim that Linux contains source code from their Unix products. SCO is an extremely adept at confusing the press about exactly what their lawsuits are about. I think it is time for Ziff Davis to hire an intellectual property lawyer to examine the whole issue and report on it correctly, rather than relying on the usual spate of techie reporters.
