In the DaimlerChrysler case, SCO said it planned to file a lawsuit on Wednesday, alleging that the carmaker has violated its Unix software agreement with SCO. It was not immediately clear how the violation involved Linux.
The suit, which is expected to be filed in Oakland County Circuit Court in Michigan, will ask the court to prevent Chrysler from further violations of the software agreement, order the company to fix the effects of past violations, and to award damages in an amount determined at trial.
DamilerChrysler was not immediately available for comment, and a AutoZone spokesman, responding to an e-mail, declined comment, saying: "We have not seen the lawsuit."
Last year, SCO sent letters to 1,500 companies, warning them that their use of Linux violated the company's copyright on a significant portion of code within the operating system. The Lindon, Utah-based software maker has hired high-powered law firm Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP to handle the case.
SCO has refused to say how many companies have agreed to buy its Linux license, but Darl McBride, president and chief executive, said in a teleconference Wednesday that it was "less than 50."
