The ancient dispute over the ownership of Unix returned to courtThe case began in 1998 with the alliance of IBM, Santa Cruz Operation (SCO), Intel and Sequent for the “Project Monterey". 
The goal was a single Unix for multiple processors. Until 2001, Project Monterey combined code from IBM and SCO.
So when Linux began to grow rapidly, IBM left Project Monterey and turned to open source software.
SCO accused IBM of incorporating common code into Linux and its own systems (aix, z), starting a legal battle since 2003.
Despite SCO's bankruptcy and a settlement in 2021, the software was purchased by Xinuos, which continues the legal dispute.
An online hearing was held on June 22. Xinuos argued that IBM never had a license to use SCO's code.
IBM denied the allegations, of course.
The central issue here is whether Xinuos has the right to continue the lawsuit or whether this right has been barred under old agreements.
The motivation, of course, remains a huge financial compensation from claiming part of the Linux code.
Although the press releases will range from very select to rare, I said I'd pass...because sometimes the editors hide.
