I liked the part where they suggest that IBM my now have some additional ammo to use in their fight against SCO:

"If there are transcripts and pleadings that have been sealed in which Lineo makes the innocent infringement argument, that's a defense that I.B.M. and others could use in their lawsuits," said Jack Russo, an intellectual property lawyer at Russo and Hale in Palo Alto, Calif.

Why, because it's funny that they would suggest that? It is difficult to
imagine why IBM would have to resort to such a defense when IBM isn't
being sued for copyright infringement.
