with an atomic wedgie. :)
Someone scaned in the court document on the code comparison here:

The important part is that this is over contracts and not copyrighted code. The judge needs to decide just what the contract between SCO and IBM was about, and what Unix IP Novell sold to SCO under their contract. Then they can try to see what code is SCO IP, and apparently SCO did release some code in 1999 that was not copyrighted (Recall that SCO was contibuting to Linux themselves via Caldera). It is in my opinion, that if they do find copyrighted code in Linux from SCO, that SCO did it via their Caldera company. Will SCO then sue itself? I predict some merit to a counter-suit by IBM and possibly Novell. So far none of the Unix System V code, etc has been found in the Linux source code examples, and this is a very good thing for IBM and Linux.
