Sounds like you didn't read the comment to which you are replying. The point is that SCO doesn't care whether there was any evil intention in this copying, doesn't want to punish anyone, and definitely doesn't want the copying stopped. SCO wants its legal share of the value that companies are deriving from use of the code in question.

The IBM case in particular is about a contract infringement. In a contract infringement case, there is no question of wrong or right or intent. SCO is simply entitled to be reimbursed by IBM for whatever damage it may have suffered because IBM failed to live up to that contract.
