"SCO has had almost two years to come up with even one line of code and they can't do it"

SCO has shown thousands of lines of code to experts from the computer industry (like IDc, Gartner etc etc) that they have made sign confidentiality agreements.
They did this long ago.
SCO doesn't have to show any code to open source nuts that post rubbish on the Internet.
All they have to do is show their stolen code in COURT when the trial finally gets under way, just like any trial.


"No other company, after seeing SCO start this process, has come forward with similar claims."

They will.
It took 20 years to catch the Una-bomber


"The source code is open for all to see, and has been for 15 years, yet no company has made that claim."

Linux was irrelevant 15 years ago.
Plus Linux was a typically useless open source piece of junk then, until they stated shoveling stolen code into it en mass, relatively recently.
Then it miraculously acquired capabilities that it never came close to acquiring for the past 10 years before that.

And some still slipped out into the public. When it was then proven to be a pile of horsehockey.

Wrong. IBM filed a motion for dismissal (CC10), that SCO could have easily refuted by just showing that code to the court under seal. They couldn't do that, because they don't have it. That motion is going to be heard this month, and most likely will be granted.

Keep up, dude.

That statement is irrelevant. Copyright infringement is copyright infringement, no matter how small. It would have been prosecuted then just as it would now.
