Found the following on the "Linux Today" RSS feed:
"The big info is this: SCO has apparently dropped its trade secret
claims against IBM and as for the copyright claim, it is melting. So
far, according to IBM, SCO has shown not one line of 'infringing code'
and SCO, he said, 'repeats their theory' that IBM put AIX code into
Linux, and identified only 17 files and identified a few lines in those
files.
"How would that impact Linux end users, even if they could prove their
legal theory?
"(UPDATE: I have just heard from another eyewitness too, and he heard
the same thing. He read to me the copyright infringement claim, and in
fact it is only about IBM and only about their continuing to distribute
AIX after the 'termination' by SCO, not any prior copyright
infringement...)"
