SCO knows that they have been sloppy with their use of other people's code.
SCO knows that their Unix contains illegal code, and code with the copyright illegally removed. This was demonstrated to be the case with one of the samples that they presented earlier.
Therefore, if SCO identified the code, they would be opening THEMSELVES up to a series of IP lawsuits -- lawsuits that they know they would lose.
