SCO v IBM

OpenSource responds to the SCO assertion that it holds the intellectual property rights to UNIX and to the UNIX code contained in Linux distributions. OSI submits that these [SCO's legal] claims are uniformly without merit, and proposes to establish that in the remainder of this position paper.

Basically, the paper excoriates SCO for, well, partial truths, half-histories, blatant lies and pathetic self-aggrandization. It confirms my suspicions that SCO is using the courts to counter its failure in the marketplace.
