Here's a particularly interesting assertion (#5):
"While some application programming interfaces ("API Code") have been made available over the years through POSIX and other open standards, the UNIXÂ ABI Code has only been made available under copyright restrictions. AT&T made these binary interfaces available in order to support application development to UNIXÂ operating systems and to assist UNIXÂ licensees in the development process. The UNIXÂ ABIs were never authorized for unrestricted use or distribution under the GPL in LinuxÂ. As the copyright holder, SCO has never granted such permission. Nevertheless, many of the ABIs contained in LinuxÂ, and improperly distributed under the GPL, are direct copies of our UNIXÂ copyrighted software code."
