SALT LAKE CITY (AP) -- A federal judge in Utah has ordered IBM to turn over more programming code to The SCO Group Inc., whose lawsuit accuses IBM of illegally inserting proprietary Unix code into the Linux operating system.
The ruling, released late Wednesday, requires International Business Machines Corp. to produce the additional code by March 18.
SCO, based in Lindon, is seeking at least $5 billion from IBM. Wells was ruling on a December motion by SCO claiming that IBM had not provided relevant material, including code and programmers' notes.
