Revealing? Show the code to some competent programmers and see what they
say. Non-programmers aren't qualified to comment. They might have been
looking at code to implement a linked list or some other common algorithm
copied from a textbook example.

Put it on a web page and let everyone see it if it is that convincing.

I am siding with the view that if there is copied code, it probably
originated in BSD or Linux and was copied by SCO into SCO's code.

I can't think of any advantage the SCO code would have had over code
already in place in the 2.2 version of the Linux kernel.
