Linux Weekly News apparently has some more information:

http://lwn.net/Articles/42374/

They listened in on the press conference call and discovered there are
two parts to the complaint. "The first is a request for a summary
judgement that Red Hat has not violated SCO's copyrights or disclosed
any SCO trade secrets.  The second is a request for a permanent
injunction to stop SCO's anti-Linux campaign."

Not bad.  Of course, I'm still waiting for the kernel hackers to
ban together to sue SCO for claiming to "own" what they wrote...

Cheers,
Tanner
