Taken from SCO's web site...
SCO is also demanding
that IBM cease these
anti-competitive
practices based on
specific requirements
sent in a notification
letter to IBM. If
these requirements are
not met, SCO will have
the authority to
revoke IBM's AIX
license 100 days
following the receipt
of SCO's letter.

Here is a snippet from Scott Bradner's column from the May 26 issue of
Network World. I don't know his source, so take it at face value and do
your own research - as I am...
SCO says that, while doing research to support the suit, it found a number of places where SCO
secret software code was used in Linux. The company, at least in part, blames IBM for the code
being there. SCO says it will cancel IBM's Unix license, which IBM needs in order to ship its
version of Unix called AIX, in the middle of June because of the violations. Then, in spite of
claiming that it is not out to destroy Linux, SCO sent mail to 1,500 corporate users of Linux
strongly hinting that SCO might come after them next.
