Since I wrote yesterday about The SCO Group’s lawsuit against AutoZone, there has been an explosion of developments in this Linux-related case. Two very big names are now involved, as SCO has sued auto maker DaimlerChrysler and named management software maker Computer Associates as a licensee.

Plus, the judge presiding over SCO’s lawsuit against IBM is prompting Big Blue to hand over source code.
