Legally you are right, see my first mail. But the lawsuit was the direct result of Linus Torvalds not following hacker honor code. Which is actually very typical for the man that Linus Torvalds realy is. If SCO would have gone after a company with such a large law departement, the entire movement may have been compromised. If open source had any court system, Linus should be tried in the highest court.
