As you may have read (http://news.com.com/2100-1016_3-1007528.html) M$ is going to license code from SCO/Caldera. M$ said it is respecting IP, but maybe they are just trying to legitimize SCO’s claim that Linux violates their (SCO) IP (http://www.sco.com/scosource/letter..._customers.html).

Just a thought, but what if this Unix IP that SCO supposedly owns turns out to be GPL’d code that was taken from Linux. After all Caldera has sold their version of Linux for years. Wouldn’t that be something if it turned out M$ was licensing and using GPL’d code in violation of the GPL. Would M$ respect the IP that is under the GPL and free any extension or integration of the original GPL’d code?
