"SCO has found no case in which it believes that Linux use by
    anyone is legal, Sontag said."

This is a very aggressive statement. These guys are getting set to play
hardball. 

Based on my experience with lawyers, the guys who talk the most to
the newspapers have a weak case, are trying to pollute the jury pool,
or are  trying to intimidate people not involved in the litigation.

This makes the silence from folks like Linus interesting.

This sudden explosion simply screams scam.
