Microsoft Won't Sue Linux Users, Company Exec Says (InformationWeek)

You're confusing SCO-Santa Cruz with SCO-Caldera. Easily done, that's one reason that the McBride Caldera changed their name to SCO ("The SCO Group") after purchasing Santa Cruz's Unix business (and the Santa Cruz Operation renamed themselves to Tarantella).

The current SCO (SCOG nee Caldera) had NOTHING to do with the Monterey project, they are merely a successor-in-interest to that part of Santa Cruz's Unix business that they bought. To that degree, it was "damaged goods" when they bought it and Caldera knew or should have known that. They've got no legitimate beef with IBM over that.
