Impressive spin. The tiny element of truth, I think, is that the judge did draw a possible distinction between code that SCO added, and code that SCO was selling on behalf of Novell, which might appear to a confused journalist to mean that if SCO could prove that someone copied that code, they might collect damages. But SCO doesn't have any evidence of that, and this is never what they charged IBM with.

What they charged IBM with is...impressively vague.  What they finally showed when compelled
to present their evidence, however, was, yes, small amounts of old SYSV code, not anything
they can claim to actually own.
