You should substract the lines orginating from 2.2 (there was no
SCO IP in 2.2) that will raise SCO's IP claims in 2.4 kernels over 100%
as "millions" should be much more than 2M

That's not quite right either. It is possible that some lines have been deleted between 2.2 and 2.4.

A (somewhat) better estimate (although it does include documentation etc..) can be found by:
diff -urN linux-2.2/ linux-2.4.20/ | grep "^+" | grep -v "^+++"|wc -l

which results in:
3040920

still, > 1/3 of the code is just silly.
