Did SCO open Unix source code? (ZDNet)
Nope. It's significantly less than 3 years since Caldera bought most of SCO, including the UNIX code in question. It is just about feasible that it took a few months before anyone noticed anything, a year or so for their engineers to do a complete code sweep, and a few months for the legal preparations to get to the point where they were ready to announce the suit - making the announcement earlier on this year at a believable time. Not a particularly respectable time, but a believable one...
