Yes, thats it. Here's some excerpts from an internetnews.com article last month:
Ref: http://www.internetnews.com/bus-news/article.php/1573491
The crux of the matter, according to the statement, is that "the [AT&T] UNIX shared libraries, owned by SCO, are not Linux products. They are not open source software and they are not covered by the GPL."
Linux is based on UNIX and at least in theory, SCO apparently thinks it might be possible to build a case that says some of its rights are
being violated. Linux is widely assumed to be open source software developed by volunteers that can be freely downloaded.
