This may be related to the following that appeared on Slashdot on Thursday:

kevin at ank.com writes "In the best expose I've read since the original
Halloween documents, Groklaw has links and analysis of Renaissance
Ventures' rationale for investing in The SCO Group. Among other
misrepresentations, SCO convinced Ren that SCO owned the root of the
entire UNIX tree, and that Linux was just one branch of that tree. Linux
gets a SCO tax... forever; or worst case, if Linux gets killed in the
process, then so be it. Renaissance also estimated that IBM would have
settled with SCO last April under the strength of SCO's claims, and the
threat of terminating their UNIX license. Oops."
