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.

I can see SCO's point in not wanting the lines to be released...
This is ridiculous. Get a notar and someone from kernel.org.
Don't just backup a snapshot, but the whole CVS history.
Have the notar sign it, and put the stuff in a safe.
There's no technical reason for not showing the code.
