[TriLUG] SCO puts disputed code in the spotlight

SCO finally showed some code, but the article says that much of the Unix code was obscured because SCO wants to protect its IP rights.  I but they continue to say NUMA, RCU, JFS, XFS, SMP, Schedulers, are derivative works and therefore belong to them. One important quote I think was kind of ironic is that Sontag said this:

"A number of entities have violated contracts and contributed inappropriate content into Linux," 

It has been proven that Caldera was the biggest contributor to the SMP code so what are they going to do,? Sue themselves ?
