I went to one of the SCO forum events at Santa Cruz at the time and I vaguely remember someone having a chat to use and saying that the dispute was that SCO and IBM were working on project Monterey and some of the SCO SMP code found its way into Linux.

At the time SCO felt that Linux was several years behind on SMP so getting the SMP code would remove the SCO advantage at a time when processors were getting more cores. This may have been more to do with the IBM -vs- SCO contract case.

Regards, Rob.
