SCO intends to fully protect its rights granted under these Acts against all who would use and distribute our intellectual property for free, and would strip out copyright management information from our proprietary code, use it in Linux, and distribute it under the GPL.
Didn't sco release it's own version of linux (United Linux) under the GPL? They advertised it's enhanced SMP, NUMA and JFS abilities in there press releases, prior to the lawsuits. Now they want protection from their own past. Didn't SCO (Then named Caldera) release all of their previous unix ip v1 - v32 under a BSD license?
Seems like SCO needs protection from itself.
Now if they can stop their management from acting like dumb asses, the soon to be new owner David Boise will be better able to sell of any holdings of the shell that was SCO.
