News.com says it saw a Word document of SCO's lawsuit against DaimlerChrysler - the rest of us have PDF versions - that indicated SCO originally intended to sue the Bank of America, an IBM AIX account, but changed its mind for some reason or another on February 18 at 11:10 am when the carmaker was substituted.
Using features in Word that track changes to documents, who made them and when they were made, somebody uncovered metadata showing that the bank was SCO's original target and that, unlike DaimlerChrysler, it was going to be sued for copyright infringement and violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.
SCO sued AutoZone for copyright infringement but not DMCA violations.
SCO had nothing to say, CNET said.
The BofA suit reportedly said Linux Torvalds had copied SCO's code into Linux.
SCO also itemized its damages at between $2,500 and $25,000 for every Linux copy BofA had.
Sources have told us that SCO's targets have been changing with some regularity.
