SCO Claims Linux Lifted ELF

In case you haven't seen the latest SCO news, they are now claiming that the Unix Executable and Linking Format (ELF) codes are in Linux illegally. From the article:
“In 1995, the year Novell sold Unix to the Santa Cruz Operation, an industry group calling itself the Tool Interface Standard Committee (TISC) came up with a ELF 1.2 standard and to popularize it and streamline PC software development granted users a “non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license” to the stuff, effectively putting it in the public domain, SCO says.
SCOsource chief Chris Sontag, the SCO VP in charge of the company's hate-inducing IP push, claims TISC, which folded immediately after the spec was published, exceeded its rights even though both Novell and the old SCO – as well as Microsoft, IBM and Intel – were on the committee.”
