As you yourself point out a large number of projects would be illegal if SCO was right. Every x86 clone ever made and every BIOS and the wine project could just stop as everything they do is reimplementation of an API including header files.

It's simply no way SCO could convince a judge they are right. They can't possibly beleive in this them self and at the same time claim to have even a shred of intelligence.

They are not trying to convice any judge. They are trying to convince clueless readers of various sycofant press outlets, and just maybe possibly a jury.

Since McBride and friends took over, greed has been their single motivation, to the exclusion of all that is good about the sharing of computer software and technologies. It is truly sad that much of the press can't (or won't) see this.
