摘要

In a startling development, The SCO Group last week put corporate Linux users on no-tice that they could become legal targets as part of its cam-paign to enforce intellectual property claims it has made on Unix. The threat outraged many IT managers but left some users worried about potential liabilities. In a letter that was posted on its Web site and sent by mail to about 1,500 large companies, Lindon, Utah-based SCO claimed that Linux is "an unauthorized derivative of Unix" and that some of SCO's code has been illegally incor- porated into the open-source operating system. It asserted that legal risks may extend to users that run Linux. This is the third major punch SCO has thrown at Linux since January, when the software vendor said it was setting up a technology licensing division to ensure that users and vendors combined Unix and Linux code"legiti mately."In March, SCO sued IBM, charging it with illegally using Unix technology in contection with Linux. Joe Poole, technical support manager at Boscov's Department Store LLC in Reading, Pa., said Linux users"will not stand for this. There are just too many of us now."Boscov's uses Linux on an IBM zSeries mainframe to reduce the number of servers it has to manage(see related story, page 6).
