Unix is an early operating system for large mainframe computers developed by Bell Labs in the 1960s.  In the 1990s AT&T sold Unix to Novell, which in turn sold its business of lisencing and supporting Unix to Caldera Systems, which changed its name to The SCO Group of Lindon, Utah.  Novell, however, retained all copyrights to the software.  In 2003, SCO filed lawsuits against IBM, Autozone and Daimler-Chrysler for using Linux, an open source clone of Unix developed for the PC by Linus Torvalds and others over USENET.  Simultaneously, SCO declared it was entitled to a license fee of $699 for every copy of Linux in use anywhere.  Novell in turn sued SCO for slander of title and ordered SCO to drop the suits.  All of these court actions are still moving through the federal legal system in Utah.
