So Scodera is charging that certain parts of the Linux Kernel are
infringing there IP, IIUIC.  

Now I am no lawyer here but how does the Statute of Limitations play
into this?  Copyright violations have only a three-year statute of
limitations.  Though that is from the last infringing date.  So assuming
that Scodera IP is really in the kernel like they charge, and assuming
they pursue legal action against Linux, if the part of kernel w/ "their
IP"  hasn't been modified since 3 years before the date they file for
legal action has the Statute of Limitations expired on it?  Thus no
infringement for 3 years and then go take a hike Sco you missed you
chance.
