IBM ain't so dumb. They have been quietly working behind the scenes to build up a "Rapid Response Lethal Strike Force" to stop the SCO suit dead in it's tracks.

They have recruited a group of the most feared, most extreme, most mean-spirited and most intolerant business lobbys anywhere that they will be able to launch against SCO and bankrupt them before this lawsuit ever gains traction.

IBM is certianly has litigated plenty of times in its history and I don't think they are necessarily angels in this regard. However, I think SCO is bucking for someone to buy out and settle the question that way rather than through a court order.
