SCO Sues First Customers; Judge Orders SCO to Submit Disputed Code

SCO named the recipients of their first two lawsuits in their mammoth online conference call yesterday: AutoZone and Daimler Chrysler. They are being targeted as they run Linux – and of course SCO claims ownership to part of the source code of the Linux kernel, having found its way there from UNIX System V.
Meanwhile, in Utah, SCO have been ordered to identify all lines of Linux source code that it claims ownership of. Once the disputed code is identified it is expected that Linux kernel programmers will simply remove and rewrite the offending sections immediately, regardless of who the code belongs to – just to be safe.
