{{SCO Controversy}}
During its [[SCO Forum]] conference of 2003, [[the SCO Group]] (SCO) showed several examples of allegedly illegal copying of copyrighted code into [[Linux]]. The [[open source software]] community quickly debunked most of them. One example showed some Unix code within some of [[Silicon Graphics|SGI]]'s Linux contributions. The Linux maintainers stated that this code had already been removed from Linux before the example had been revealed — not because it was infringing, but because it had needlessly duplicated some functions already present in Linux. SGI and other analysts also confirmed that the code had never infringed.
