> after SCO had lost the rights to do so per the terms of the GPL itself.

more precisely, after SCO made the claim in court that the GPL was invalid.

Also, IIRC, some of the code they claimed was copied from Unixware to Linux was actually copied from Linux to Unixware. And I know there was other code copied from BSD to Unixware with the copyright notices removed

Also note that the Unixware claim is a breech of contract, not copyright violation.

IBMs third counterclaim is also interesting, aiming directly at the FUD with some nasty fraud charge
