But the hundreds of thousands of lines includes mainly code which IBM, SGI, etc own but MAYBE weren't allowed to contribute under contracts they signed.
If they were allowed to contribute them, then there is no problem. If they weren't then those lines still aren't infringing on copyright claims, only contract claims with those specific companies.
The number of lines lifted directly from SCO's code is probably very small from everything I've read.
