SCO Names 1st Lawsuit Target: AutoZone [Updated]

Posted by timothy on Wednesday March 3, 2004 @01:42AM from the suddenly-I-need-auto-parts dept.

An anonymous reader writes "News.com reports that SCO has filed the first (of two) soon to be infamous lawsuits. This one is aimed against car part retailer AutoZone, a multi-billion, Fortune 500 company according to the site. Who's next?" Another reader excerpts from SCO's posted claim: 'AutoZone violated SCO's UNIX copyrights by running versions of the Linux operating system that contain code, structure, sequence and/or organization from SCO's proprietary UNIX System V code in violation of SCO's copyrights.' Update: 03/03 16:28 GMT by T : njan writes with the news that SCO just announced during their ongoing conference call another lawsuit, this one "to be filed against Daimler-Chrysler, alleging that they are infringing SCO's copyright by using code relating to 'core operating system functionality' of SCO System 5."

Now if could either:

a) outsource the lawyers, or
b) get a law firm to sue another law firm for using Linux for their database / accounting systems...step back and watch the whole thing blow up in an tangled infinite loop of lawsuits.
