As you said - "idiocy"!

It doesn't take long (if you can be bothered) to see the pieces of code that 
M$ stole.  I know of several companies that threatened M$ with IP lawsuits 
that were bought by Bill Gates.

Perhaps SCO are pointing their lawyers in the wrong direction.  If they are so 
desparate to be bought out, they should sue M$ for the pieces of UNIX that 
are part of NT!
