To quote from their press release:
"Hundreds of files of misappropriated UNIX source code and derivative UNIX code have been contributed to Linux in a variety of areas, including multi-processing capabilities. The Linux 2.2.x kernel was able to scale to 2-4 processors. With Linux 2.4.x and the 2.5.x development kernel, Linux now scales to 32 and 64 processors through the addition of advanced Symmetrical Multi-Processing (SMP) capabilities taken from UNIX System V and derivative works, in violation of SCO's contract agreements and copyrights."
To my understanding, this hasn't been proven... most of what I have read says otherwise.
If this is proven false in the IBM lawsuit, wouldn't this statement become grounds for a libel lawsuit on behalf of the authors of this functionality?
