U.S. Magistrate Brooke Wells has struck down many of SCO Group Inc.'s claims against IBM Corp., saying the Utah company failed to show its intellectual property was misappropriated when IBM donated software code to the freely distributed Linux operating system. Wells dismissed 182 of SCO's 294 claims, dealing a major setback to SCO's $5 billion lawsuit. The suit, filed in 2003, accused IBM of donating SCO's Unix code to Linux developers, but Wells ruled SCO had produced virtually no proof of the allegation.
