Fizzled out? Looks like it's smoking to me.

It would be interesting to see Eric's perspective on the other slides, in particular, the theory that if any code created by a Unix licensee ever touches Unix, SCO owns that code from then on, and can deny its creator the right to make use of it for any other purpose.

This must really be the "meat and potatoes" of SCO's case against IBM (at least in terms of the sheer number of lines of code in question).
