SCO shows Linux code to analysts

"Last week, the company began showing code to U.S. analysts that, it 
claims, prove that the source code to the Linux operating system 
contains sections of code lifted directly from SCO's Unix code base.

SCO's presentation, which has been seen by analysts at Gartner Inc. and 
Aberdeen Group Inc. features pieces of software that IBM contributed to 
the Linux code base, SCO said. That code was derived from SCO's Unix 
code, itself derived from AT&T Corp.'s System V Unix code, and then 
distributed to the Linux community in violation of SCO's licensing 
agreement, the company said.

SCO will spend the month of June showing its evidence to analysts and 
journalists who are interested in seeing it, said SCO's general manager 
of SCOsource, Chris Sontag"
