From /.

"SGI has released a letter to the Linux community in response to SCO's recent threat to revoke the UNIX licence for Irix. The letter mentions that they inadvertently did submit some System V code into the Linux kernel, that has since been removed (and some more in the process of being removed). The article points out that the code fragments in question had already been released into the public domain as well."

Oh dear.

Looks like SCO may have a real case. SGI have admitted that they leaked System V code. SGI won't have the legal weight to fight off this one. Its going to be a rough ride people, so hold onto your hats.
