Clean UnixWare code ?

SCO offers UnixWare licenses for Linux
Looking through the list of features in UnixWare that are
not from the old SysV codebase one cannot help but wonder how
much of the new stuff:
hardware support (USB,SCSI3 ... driverers for a lot of hardware),
scalability etc
are based on concepts and/or actual code based on work done by the Linux community? this in addition to the contested "derivative work" like RCU
and NUMA
We all know that they have been involved in the Linux development
and the question I ask is if it is possible for a company like SCO
to develop all this without "borrowing" from the GPL Linux codebase.
It is time to start ask questions about the procedures used at SCO
to ensure that their codebase is clean!
