The GPL doesn't actually prohibit you from repudiating the GPL. It is only when they claim copyright infringement of modifications they were only permitted to make under the GPL (thereby implying that their distribution did not permit recipients to sublicense) that they violated the license on the modified (or distributed) work. As they haven't made copyright infringement claims about most packages, they haven't violated their licenses to those packages.
For that matter, it's reasonably likely that IBM will lose this one, on the basis that SCO hasn't actually copied, distributed, or modified anything without abiding by the terms of the GPL, regardless of what they've said they were doing.
