IBM Denies Charges of Unix Theft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the wrong-tree-barked-up dept.

ahooton writes "C|net is reporting that SCO has filed a lawsuit accusing IBM of theft of it's Unix intellectual property. SCO alleges this occurred because IBM released portions of the Unix system, owned by SCO, in to Linux." While the suit is nothing new, IBM's retort is. IBM asserts it is innocent of any charges of wrongdoing. Additionally, IBM is accusing SCO of trying to stifle Linux development through the use of the courts.

    No one is an island in this world, MS is no exception. If MS really wants a fight, then lets make it one that MS wins nothing but financial ruins.

    Yes, let's. While we're at it, let's cure cancer and bring about world peace, as well. Also, we can put that whole 'intelligent life elsewhere in the universe' thing to rest, one way or the other. Are you ready, my brothers? Let us be off!

    We can figure out the details later, right?
