The bad math was that the original figure was $11 million from microsoft, now it looks to be much larger.
The original case with IBM seems to be hanging on whether SCO can claim copyright to a dozen header files -- (a previous court case found header files to be "statements of fact" and therefore not copyrightable)
The autozone case has in question whether it is possible to switch a company from SCO unix to Linux in 3 or 4 years without a hitch and without using SCO libraries and the vast resources available through IBM, when others have switched from Solaris to Linux(the same kind of change with just about as many issues) in half the time with no hitches.
PS. go read the court stuff and the testimony of the participants, not the press releases
PPS. a very old book once said
a) do not answer a fool according to his foolishness least you become like him
b) answer a fool according to his foolishness least he become concieted
