This one is worth a look, Linus certainly has a way of getting his point 
across, it would be fun actually to have him testify like that in court.

Torvalds Slams SCO    http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,3959,1227081,00.asp  

Torvalds: They are smoking crack. Their slides said there are [more than] 
800,000 lines of SMP code that are "infringing," and they are just off their 
rocker. The SMP code was written by a number of Linux people I know well (I 
did a lot of the SMP IRQ scalability myself, personally), so their claims are 
just ludicrous. And they claim they own JFS [journaled file system 
technology] too. Whee. They're not shy about claiming ownership of other 
people's code-while at the same time beating their breasts about how they 
have been wronged. So the SCO people seem to have a few problems keeping the 
truth straight, but if there is something they know all about, it's 
hypocrisy.
