10th Variant of Bagle Worm Hits the Net - Recent speculation among anti-virus researchers that the creators of the NetSky and Bagle viruses may be engaged in some kind of competition or war has now apparently been proven true. The virus writers have been leaving profane, derogatory messages for one another in the new variants of their respective viruses during the last few days, experts say. [EWeek] 2:14:04 PM

AutoZone Runs Much of Operations on Solaris.

It's Autozone. It's AutoZone. They are asking for "injunctive relief against AutoZone's further use or copying of any part of SCO's copyrighted materials and also requests damages as a result of AutoZone's infringement in an amount to be proven at trial." SCO's unfailing instincts have caused them to pick yet another Red Hat customer... You might remember AutoZone from SCO's Supplemental Response to Interrogatory Number 8, in IBM's Exhibit 1, which you can find here. [GrokLaw] Too good. In the Supplemental Response noted above, SCO alleges that IBM interfered with SCO's contract with Autozone and induced Autozone to switch to Redhat. IBM then allegedly assited Autozone in getting SCO binaries to run under Linux. Autozone then terminated its license. All that sounds like a license/contract issue not copyright infringement. 11:17:47 AM

SCO's Reveals Linux User Target: AutoZone. SCO files suit against AutoZone for "alleged violations of SCO's UNIX copyrights through its use of Linux." [eWEEK Technology News] Sure, big news right before the eaernings conference call. Of course to sue for copyright infringement you have to own the copyrights in the first place, which is in dispute. This suit can't go forward until the Novell case is settled. 10:57:07 AM
