AIX blows its foot off

I think it has to do with some drivers that IBM has been adding to the kernel
to support RS/6000 machines. Most of which are wholly IBM intellectual
property, but SCO will count on the technical incompitence of a court room to
score on this one. AIX in its current itteration is mostly IBM code and GPL
stuff. The remnants of SCO are fading with each major revision. They just
don't have the stake in the OS that they are counting on to successfully
blackmail IBM. SCO should also remember that IBM let OS2 die rather than
give in to the blackmail that MS tried to do. They lost some short term
market share, but in the end IBM is still riding a big blue wave.
