Compare and contrast:

"I use [Wikipedia] as an example of why you can't trust Open
Source at face value and need to actually review the code
yourself before blessing it."

and

"[SCO] showed me what they claimed was copied code. As it turned
out later, the code they showed me was mostly in the public
domain and, as it eventually turned out, anything that was left
was not theirs in the first place."

Sounds like it's not just "Open Source" that requires fact
checking. Lesson 1 for anyone claiming to be an analyst, I'd
have thought.
