One of the articles/interviews talked about how to obfuscate the code and that there is obfuscated code in the kernel, and that this was (part of) the basis of the IP infringement ... Interesting question then becomes, how much obfuscation is permitted - SCO could turn around and say 'see - this code says "if ( a == b )" and that is an obfuscation of "if ( kerner_parm_x == right_hand_wingding )" therefore ....' I think someone should patent breathing and then sue these characters for infringement ...this whole thing is so sickening, it feels like a M$ trademarked tactic. The only good thing I see coming out of this - no one in their right mind is ever going to hire McBride. IMHO it's a foregone conclusion that SCO's corporate life is near the end regardless of the outcome so his pension plan better be up to snuff.
