It ain't "evidence" till someone can show the CVS check-in
records associated with any code. i.e. imagine if ...shock horror a caldera
engineer checked it in.

Show who commited it & when.

Then show the SCO Unix cvs records (in time & date) because I have a
feeling that SCO may well have actually taken some opensource code &
checked it into SCO. Imagine if the code is actually BSD let alone if it
was GPL. IMHO the court should insist that the entire SCO tree be opened up
such that people can comb through it as well looking for similar bits of
GPL code.

I would like the BSD people involved in this so that in effect they can go
"oh look see this whole set of libs....no claim possible from them coz
they're BSD in origin".

To say "oh look there's similar code here" is fairly meaningless
as for example OS/2 had the BSD tcp stack thus implying the exact same
thing but w/o any importance.
