On March 7th 2003, the SCO Group filed a lawsuit against IBM for misappropriation of tradesecrets and contractual agreements. The scope of SCOs complaint is that IBM introduced parts of Unix System V and Project Monterey into the Linux kernel. Project Monterey was a effort to port IBM's AIX 5L onto the Intel Itanium platform, IBM withdrew from that project for reasons unknown according to the press, I believe that it was because the Itanium is a bomb.

and the arguments you made make a lot of sense. As long as developers say yes I wrote that (the code you mentioned), things can get narrowed.
I have said before, and so have others, SCO must have put the code there themselves, either knowingly or just unaware that they did this.
Does the code that goes into Linux have at least the authors name on it, and the date. I think it does, so the court case will be very interesting, I wish I was a Juror
Also what has happened to posters here at OSNEWS, totally unrelated posts, see Moderated Down for a good example of this
