IBM subpoenas are flying. Morgan Keegan, EV1, Oracle, Royce, CAI,
Center7, Novell, Canopy, S2, are all asked to reveal details on all
documents concerning any communications with or any meetings involving
Microsoft regarding Unix, Linux, SCO and/or Canopy." Groklaw notes
that even more subpoenas are likely on the way.
