If SCO distributes GPL software on its ftp server, the people who download the software are entitled to the source code. If SCO refuses to provide the source, then the users have the right to sue SCO to obtain it.

The copyright holders have a particular cause to sue, but the users have been wronged by SCO's license violation as well.
