Lets forget IBM for a minute and imagine this scenario: Company A produces a program (released under GPL) called: XYZ Company B doesn't like company A product and they declare in the media that XYZ has some code that is violating patents or copyright. Company A check their sources, and they conclude that company B is lying throught their teeth. Company A has the FULL rights to sue Company B for "Tviat Dibah" and can ask for potential damages money from Company B - if Company B doesn't show any proof with a certain time frame. Same issue here - if I was RedHat - I would send a public letter to SCO and give them a week time frame to show the code. If a week passes and they do not show the code - then I'm asking a judge for compensation (think 7 digits number)..
