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.

I'm just not that worried.

"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.
