joebeone writes "Linus has commented on the SCO v. IBM suit saying "SCO is playing it like the Raelians" and that he will withhold his judgement until the code in question is shown in court. He has also recommended that former slashdot editor, Chris DiBona, be appointed to a panel offered by SCO to examine the evidence." Businessweek has an interview with SCO's CEO.

SCO's licensing deal with Microsoft raises user doubts - Computerworld -

Martin said Services for Unix is just one reason why Microsoft agreed to the licensing deal, which covers all of its products.
