IBM Subpoenas Intel Into SCO Fray
whovian writes "Since IBM was ordered by the courts to show more code, they are now reported by Groklaw to have subpoenaed Intel to show 'all communications between Intel and SCO or Canopy about IBM, Unix or Linux, all meetings with either concerning IBM, Unix or Linux, and all contracts or other business relations, past, present, or future, between Intel and SCO.' The text is available at the website."

It isn't about code. SCO is claiming a patright on Linux. A patright is like a patent in that it covers general ideas, but a copyright in that it exists from the moment of creation. Unfortunately for SCO, patrights are not recognized in any country I know of, only copyrights and patents are and neither of those do what SCO wants.
