True. Their suit against IBM is, in essence, about the JFS, NUMA and SMP
code that IBM contributed to Linux, none of which was ever part of SCO's
Unix (as Eric Raymond pointed out in his excellent rebuttal). 

In any case, since the SCO suit has proceeded there have been some
significant changes in the Linux landscape with IBM and Red Hat, and
Novell and Suse.
