Has anyone followed the line of thinking that since the US government
released a linux version, selinux, that SCO would have to sue the US
government also?

Or that by providing a million pages to IBM, that SCO implies it has
copyrights to items which we already know belong to open source, there
fore they have "lied" in court by claiming copyrights that they don't
own....
Put "MR. SCO" on the stand....and have IBM ask...

IBM: Page 1. ...SCO is this yours? MR. SCO:.....err....uh....no

IBM: Page 2. ...SCO is this yours? MR. SCO:......err....uh....no

IBM: Page 3. ...SCO is this yours? MR. SCO:......err....uh....no

IBM: Page 4. ...SCO is this yours? MR. SCO:......err....uh....no

IBM: Page 5. ...SCO is this yours? MR. SCO:......err....uh....no
...

until the judge just dismisses the case, or orders
SCO to provide the exact pages/lines.

The US government *doesn't* provide a version of Linux. All they provide is patches against the kernel and some user-space utilities. Not to mention the fact that it was primarily developed by an outside contractor, Network Associates.
