NEW YORK (Reuters) - IBM on Thursday fired the latest volley in a war over the freely distributed Linux operating system and the code it's based on, charging in a countersuit that SCO Group Inc. (NasdaqSC:SCOX - News) violated license agreements.

SCO shares fell about 8 percent.

The move by International Business Corp. (NYSE:IBM - News) of Armonk, New York follows a $1 billion lawsuit filed in March by SCO accusing it of taking parts of the Unix operating system code, for which SCO has intellectual property rights, and introducing them into Linux.
