Probably just a font error.

Probably not. My guess is that switch to a Greek font was a deliberate, if lame, attempt to obscure the code. If the code in question was just flashed up on the screen for 15 seconds, you probably wouldn't have had time to figure out what that obscured section meant. I know it took me longer than that to read it. They probably weren't expecting anyone to take a picture of the screen for later perusal; otherwise they wouldn't have chosen code that (as some of the other posters here have pointed out) is easily identified in its origin not to be proprietary to SCO.

...unless they don't *have* any copied code which isn't easily identified in its origin as not to be proprietary to SCO....
