Having viewed the presentation, SCO has a convincing argument to claim damages from IBM for 2.4-2.6 kernel for multirocessor, JFS, etc. code. MY UNDERSTANDING is that it is not SCO's intention to undermine the Linux effort but rather to survive as a "for profit" company in a free market. Provisions will be made for Linux...stay tuned to SCO! As for the "greek" code or otherwise in the powerpoint this was how it was presented PRIOR to NDA. My understanding is that SCO owns copyrights and trademarks for UNIX SYSTEM V. Most other (nearly all) UNIXes are based upon licences from SYSTEM V (AT&T) so SCO is at the root of the UNIX tree. I'm as amazed to hear all this as is everyone. As for reporters and their articles I've read and will continue to read all I can find.
