Thanks, Bruce. SCO Group has hired high-profile attorney David Boies to see whether Windows, Mac OS X, Linux and versions of BSD infringe on Unix intellectual property the company owns, Chief Executive Darl McBride said Wednesday. SCO was formerly named Caldera International but changed its name last year to reflect the Unix products it acquired from Santa Cruz Operation. Unix was invented more than 30 years ago by AT&T's Unix Systems Laboratories; and its ideas have spread widely since then. SCO's Unix products generate much more revenue than the version of Linux the company also sells.
