I read about this article over on rootprompt.org the other day that 
talks about SCO backing off the claims of System V code in Linux and 
that... well here is an excerp

"SCO (SCOX) says it now owns the Unix System V copyright registrations. 
However SCO also now agrees that it does not own the IBM-developed AIX 
code copyrights. SCO-Caldera also admits that it does not own the 
copyrights for the JFS, RCU, and NUMA software code that IBM contributed 
to the Linux kernel -- or other IBM-developed AIX code that IBM 
contributed to the Linux kernel."

This article was posted on MozillaQuest.com which I generally take their 
articles with a grain of salt.  I noticed the article is now posted on 
Slashdot also. (althought it claims it's from The Register)  Can anyone 
verify these claims?  If they are "real" then SCO is backing off 
attacking the Linux community and just going after IBM now?

Anyway, like I said I take MozillaQuest.com articles with a grain of 
salt, and was just trying to verify this.
