the sco user lawsuit . . .

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

Of course it's actually sort of clever in a perverse sort of way.  In the 
IBM suit they have been claiming IBM helped Autozone port their precious 
libraries--i.e., something they actually own--to Linux in the 
conversion.  So as long as they can credibly claim that, they have a 
case.  And they can go on about it in the press in hopes that others won't 
make the distinction.  Might sell a few of their damn licenses or get the 
stock price a little higher.
