Tech on trial

SCO Group, inheritor of the intellectual property for the Unix
operating system, sued IBM for more than $1 billion, alleging
that Big Blue misappropriated SCO's Unix technology and built
it into Linux. The suit alleges misappropriation of trade
secrets, unfair competition, breach of contract and tortious
interference with SCO's business.

SCO also sent a letter warning IBM that if it doesn't meet
various demands, SCO will revoke its license to ship its
version of Unix, called AIX, in 100 days. Analysts saw the move
as a desperate one for SCO, a company that hasn't been
profitable in its current incarnation.
