You don't need to go that far back at all. Infact I downloaded a kernel, complete with COPYING-file containing the GPL and sourcecode for the entire thing from ftp.caldera.com on the 15th of may 2003, long after SCO started this present nonsense.

Heck, you can still download it if you want.

Regular old kernels, with the same md5sums as the ones Suse distributes.

Hmmm. SO what you are saying is that SCO is still distributing what they claim to have closed license of, under terms and conditions of the GNU / GPL? What a surprise!
