SCO prepped lawsuit against Bank of America
A Microsoft Word document of SCO originally identified Bank of America as the defendant instead of the DaimlerChrysler. Apparently SCO forgot to remove/turn-off the revision in the <ocument.

In the original version identifying Bank of America as a defendant, the document also included these allegations against the bank and Linux developers, including leading Linux figure Linus Torvalds:

? "Defendant acquired a license from IBM to use UNIX/AIX on or about December __, 2003 the ("BA UNIX/AIX License"). At the time of acquiring the BA UNIX/AIX License, Defendant knew or should have known: (a) that IBM?s license to distribute UNIX/AIX had been terminated by SCO pursuant to the UNIX/AIX Termination Notice and (b) that IBM?s distribution to it of UNIX/AIX software improperly included use of the UNIX Release 3.2 Copyrighted Materials"

? "(C)ertain of plaintiff's copyrighted software code has been materially or exactly copied by Linus Torvalds and/or others for inclusion into one or more distributions of Linux with the copyright management information intentionally removed."
