It is likely that SCO would present the very best examples that they have of 'copied' code in their slide show. But I was easily able to determine that of the two examples, one isn't SCO's property at all, and the other is used in Linux under a valid license. If this is the best SCO has to offer, they will lose. "Slide 15 shows purports to show 'Obfuscated Copying' from Unix System V into Linux. SCO further obfuscated the code on this slide by switching it to a Greek font, but that was easily undone.
