"I will start with SCO's demonstrations regarding 'copied' software. 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. It's entertaining that the SCO folks had no clue that the font-change could be so easily reversed. I'm glad they don't work on my computer security :-)
