SCO versus Autozone

"Executives at Autozone must be feeling unlucky at being the recipient
of a lawsuit from SCO when there are so many other corporate Linux
users that SCO could have chosen from.

However, the defence may take heart that the court in which SCO filed
suit runs its own web site on Linux, and that the key electronic
documents SCO filed in the case will be living on a Linux server.
Plaintiffs filing lawsuits must enter copies of their legal documents
in Adobe PDF format in the court's Linux-based Case
Management/Electronic Case Filing (CM/ECF) system, which will provide
electronic updates of case information for the litigants and their
lawyers.

Presumably, that means SCO's lawyers filed the lawsuit using a system
that it contends infringes its intellectual property. SCO's numerous
press pronouncements have thus far not mentioned whether its lawyers
sent the Nevada court a cease-and-desist letter prior to filing the
documents, or indeed whether it plans to file suit against the court
itself."
