SCO tries to act tough on Linux as well

After having sued IBM for copyright infringement [on the grounds that IBM had used portions of AIX in Linux, when the copyright for Unix, of which AIX is a variant, is owned by SCO], SCO now warns companies that are using Linux.  [CNet and InfoWorld reports,  and an interview].

This action reminds me of British Telecom's suit against some ISPs alleging that they had infringed its patents on Hyper Links -- the suit was finally thrown out.
