Does BSD now belong to SCO?

Does BSD now belong to SCO?

This is my understanding of today's disturbing events:

After the BSDI/UCB v. AT&T lawsuit it was sort of found that most of the System V stuff was more/as much BSD than AT&T. That AT&T didn't have the copyright; and BSD was liberally copied into their sources.

Has this decision now been overturned, and all the BSD code copied into System V been assigned to SCO? And this is turn means that now BSD is a copy of System V rather than the other way round.

So any BSD code in Linux is now System V code in Linux?
