Hmmm, I thought that SCO claimed that _all_ 2.4 kernels were in violation...

SCO has yet to be clear (publically, at least) about what kernel contains the code that is supossedly owned by them. Certainly if it's the "hundreds of files" that they are claiming now, I doubt it sprung up between 2.4.13 and 2.4.20, and 2.4.13 is in the clear. If it's the half a dozen files that those who have seen the NDA mention, it's possible it came into being entirely in that timeframe.

Of course, this all assumes that SCO has some kind of plan at all.
