I would be cautious if I were you about looking at a single function and declaring victory. SCO reportedly showed off a lot of code besides this one function. We'll just have to see what develops...

SCO should be cautious declaring victory before they have a judgement in a pending lawsuit. They've not been cautious, however, and I fear they may run afoul of the FTC before it's all over.

SCO has made a monumental mistake. The burden will now be on them to show conclusive proof that is not refutable. I suspect their "pattern recognition" experts now have a lot of egg on their faces and are scrambling to find the true origin of all the code alleged to be infringing, and are finding that BSD or something similar is the common origin.
I predicted this here:

And of course, you disagreed:

Now that there is evidence of copying from BSD, all you can do is "be cautious".

Is it part of a strategy to throw everyone off the scent of something else? It's an odd of piece of code to throw out there to bolster your argument.
