If there is what may appear as proprietary code in the Linux kernel, how 
far back in their developement tree does this code appear in SCO. If 
this code was utilized by the SCO devel team perhaps the infringement 
isn't by the linux community but rather by SCO. Claiming ownership of 
code doesn't mean it is so. Since M$ is in the picture (directly or not) 
makes this whole exercize appear suspect. At first SCO claimed that the 
code was only being used by distros and made no direct mention of the 
kernel itself. Along comes microslime and now its "hudreds of lines of 
code in the kernel".
