Its not just about code.... they are claimingthe entire GPL us not enforcable.

Its basically a tit for tat among large companies while poeple who enjoyed services like RHN up2date software are now being forced into paying for such services. (could this be becasue redhat wants money to countersure SOC?) RedHad has even been enforcing copyrite infringment on thier logo.

Since suing IBM in March over allegations that the company put SCO Unix source code into Linux, SCO has been countersued by both IBM and Linux distributor Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT) .

In response to IBM's claims that SCO was in violation of its own copyright restrictions, SCO argued that the GPL is unenforceable and void, barring IBM's claims.
SCO went on to argue that the GPL violates the U.S. Constitution, copyright, antitrust and other laws, again barring IBM's claims.
