It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest to find snippets of code 5-10 lines 
long in the Linux kernel[0] that are in common with the SCO kernel ... after 
all they're both doing the same job on the same hardware.

I don't think they really qualify as stupid. Certainly evil, but they're 
already making money out of this (the Microsoft license) and there was a 
reasonable chance that they're going to make a fair bit more.

At least before Novell decided that they haven't got a leg to stand on.
