Now there's a serious point to this malarkey. How can Scaldera claim damages when it has not only left the stable door open, but been sending out the horse, with a hefty good-luck thump on its backside, for over two years now? ®
Personally, I'm rather intrigued by SCO's promise to show the offending code to a buch of independent experts in the near future. Now wouldn't it be just balls-achingly funny if the code was examined, and it turns out that at some point in the past an under-pressure SCO engineer cut a corner and swiped a bit of GPLed kernel code to get his job done? I hope they allow a full and complete investigation of the offending code and its history to be discussed in the open.
