In a move likely to come as something of a relief to those following the long-running dispute between IBM and SCO Group over the alleged unauthorised inclusion of Unix code in Linux, the latter firm has finally unveiled the areas in which it believes that its patents have been infringed.
After two and a half years of vague threats, SCO on Friday filed documents with the US District Court in Utah identifying 217 areas in which it believes that its intellectual property has been unlawfully used by IBM.
"Some of these wrongful disclosures include areas such as an entire file management system; others are communications by IBM personnel working on Linux that resulted in enhancing Linux functionality by disclosing a method or concept from Unix technology," SCO revealed last week.
A final report on the alleged abuses is set to be published on December 22.
