A significant factor in SCO's failure with their lawsuit has been the
fact that Novell actually owned much of the ip that they were fighting
over and Novell came out for Linux.  This is an important thing to
remember now that Novell and many Linux advocates are falling out.  Will
be interesting to see if it has any consequences.
