| SCO v. IBM - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (3626 words) |
 | SCO claimed that IBM had, without authorization, contributed SCO's intellectual property to the codebase of the open source, Unix-like Linux operating system. |
| In May 2003 SCO Group sent letters to members of the Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies warning them of the possibility of liability if they use Linux. |
| Because of this, the stock price of SCO's stock (Nasdaq stock symbol SCOX) skyrocketed to around $20 in October of 2003, although it quickly returned to just under $5 per share, very near its original, pre-lawsuit level. |
