What's more ridiculous is that their claims are utter nonsense, and for two reasons as I see it. The more obvious one is that these files very easily could be the result of a clean room reimplimentation. Things like error numbers and codes are well documented, so there're really a very limited number of ways that you even could code them. More importantly, their claims under the USL/BSD lawsuit are ridiculous. They're claiming that the copied files were required, under the settlement, to have USL copyrights added. But A) the judge ruled that USL was unlikely to be able to claim copyright because of delay in adding the required notices and B) the Linux developers are not parties to that agreement. Thus the files are likely not to be under copyright anyway and there's no legal requirement for copyright notices.
