Parent article: SCOsource and Linux
In the time it takes to mount a lawsuit, Linus releases a patch which nullifies the infringement, everyone upgrades, and SCO gets NOTHING but heartburn.

"everyone upgrades" - I assume you mean the distro makers, because the users sure wont.
Also, I assume SCO could still go after the vendors for the revenue they made while the older "infringing" code was being distributed.
I don't know SCO and I don't remember UNIX. But the fact that they seem to be spending serious money/effort to investigate the linux (and other unix like) code is worrying.
