I liked this:
`` Ironically, the piece of code that [SCO demonstrated this week] had
already been removed in [the Linux kernel] 2.6.x-and not because of
copyright issues, but because developers complained about how "ugly" it
was. So not only is the code available under the BSD copyright, it had
been removed in new versions of Linux even before SCO made it public. ''

Of course with the amount of stock that SCO execs have
been offloading it's difficult to see this going 
anywhere except jail sentences for the lot of them
