    Taken from SCO's web site...

       SCO is also demanding
       that IBM cease these
       anti-competitive
       practices based on
       specific requirements
       sent in a notification
       letter to IBM. If
       these requirements are
       not met, SCO will have
       the authority to
       revoke IBM's AIX
       license 100 days
       following the receipt
       of SCO's letter.

    Here is a snippet from Scott Bradner's column from the May 26 issue of
    Network World. I don't know his source, so take it at face value and do
    your own research - as I am...

     SCO says that, while doing research to support the suit, it found a number of places where SCO
     secret software code was used in Linux. The company, at least in part, blames IBM for the code
     being there. SCO says it will cancel IBM's Unix license, which IBM needs in order to ship its
     version of Unix called AIX, in the middle of June because of the violations. Then, in spite of
     claiming that it is not out to destroy Linux, SCO sent mail to 1,500 corporate users of Linux
     strongly hinting that SCO might come after them next.
