Everyone knows that linus is going "corporate", and playing the version game.

1) Hand them a blank piece of paper.
2) Attach a bell and a whistle to a CD containing the source for the latest 2.6 kernel.

Better yet, a box of toilet paper.
No, not the nice soft stuff. The nasty cheap English stuff, that'll scrape open their bleeding haemorhoids, because its obvious these guys have been sitting on their brains for too long ...
And while you're at it, sprinkle some fibreglass insulation fibres in the box, to give them "the itch you can't scratch in public." Hopefully, they'll think they caught anal gonorhea (you gotta catch *something* after trying to fuck over millions of people).

I am now convinced that someone at SCO has flipped their lid and become a paranoid schizophrenic. Either that, or they are aiming at a career on the Comedy Channel once SCO sinks without trace.

Kind of off-topic, but your signature is also a bit embarassing:
Last I looked, Referrer is spelled with 4 "r"s, not one OR 2.
R - e - f - e - R - R - e - R

*spelling varies depending on continent :-)

In this new motion, SCO is not only saying that she really did order IBM to produce Linux code, but adds a new version (which they also have not previously mentioned) to the list. They're telling Kimball that Wells misunderstood her own orders.
With the cajones on these guys, it's a wonder they can walk.

We have a plan to keep this from happening and it involves extensive litigation against Linux Torvalds and his corporation IBM. The big blue has been infected and is to be financially quarantined until further notice. Only buy stocks from true red blooded American nations like Seattle where Microsoft is and Utah where SCO is and invest in your country. All Americna nations of the world unite against this threat!!! We will not let the communists win! We will not let the spirit of sharing without earning prevail!! We must fight back against the oppressors linke teh Linux Tovalds and teh BSD!!!!!! Join me!!!

The 2.7 kernel and the Chewbacca "Defense" (Score:5, Funny)
But ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, I have one final thing I want you to consider: Ladies and gentlemen, this [pointing to a picture of Chewbacca] is Chewbacca. Chewbacca is a Wookiee from the planet Kashyyyk, but Chewbacca lives on the planet Endor. Now, think about that. THAT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE! Why would a Wookiee--an eight foot tall Wookiee--want to live on Endor with a bunch of two foot tall Ewoks? That does not make sense!
But more important, you have to ask yourself, what does this have to do with this case? Nothing. Ladies and gentlemen, it has nothing to do with this case! It does not make sense.
Look at me, I'm a lawyer from SCO, and I'm talkin' about Chewbacca. Does that make sense? Ladies and gentlemen, I am not making any sense. None of this makes sense!
And so you have to remember, when you're in that jury room deliberating and conjugating Linux source code... Does it make sense? No! Ladies and gentlemen of this supposed jury, it does not make sense.
If Chewbacca lived on Endor, you must convict IBM! The prosecution rests.
