The alleged violations concern SMP code and stuff such as JFS. This is
normally not present in Bering firewalls.

SCO are betting their company on these lawsuits. No one has shown a line of
actually infringing code. SCO will hardly make a difference between 2.4.20
and 2.4.22 kernel. But they don't have a leg to stand on anyway.
