Come on. If there's UnixWare source in the Linux kernel, a SCO Group employee put it there! After all, who else would have such easy access to UnixWare sources? If a SCO Group employee put the UnixWare source code into Linux, that begs the question: Did the SCO Group conspire to plant copyrighted code in the Linux kernel so they could sue IBM for US$1 billion? I believe the Justice Department calls that fraud, and that's a crime that CEOs go to jail for.
