Here in the open source community, we're willing to help out, but

SCO VP Opinder Bawa leaves the company after selling all of his shares.
Linus releases the 2.6.0-test1 kernel (announcement).

retroactive fees dating back two years ago when IBM first shipped
Linux 2.4.

I think she meant "shipped Linux 2.4 in a product", not that IBM wrote and shipped Linux themselves. I don't think anyone is claiming that, even SCO.
