Something else you might want to consider

its possible that this has been planned years ago..

SCO could have done it themselves, slowly, patch by patch.. not directly of

they may have had this planed with microsnot long ago.

There are two quetions here:
        whether Laura Dido is right, and huge sections of code have indeed
                been lifted
        whether this is relevant legally, considering the amount taken, its
                significance, and whether the code has already becomd public
                through the Berkely lawsuit.

Something else, that Jon "Maddog" Hall of Linux International brought up:

How do we know that the code was not copied by IBM (or whomever) into Linux
but by SCO into their version? See, it goes both ways.

Any legal action takes a minimum of 18 months to prepare, at least 
another 12 months before the courts are ready to proceed, so this case 
began 2 to 3 years ago.
