This C|Net news article says the SCO Group claims to have found many instances of copyrighted UnixWare source code being inserted verbatim into the Linux kernel:

I can see a Linux developer copying copy from one of BSDs (which is cool), but UnixWare?!? Come on.
If there's UnixWare source in the Linux kernel, a SCO Group employee put it there! After all, who else would have such easy access to UnixWare sources?
If a SCO Group employee put the UnixWare source code into Linux, that begs the question:
Did the SCO Group conspire to plant copyrighted code in the Linux kernel so they could sue IBM for US$1 billion?
I believe the Justice Department calls that fraud, and that's a crime that CEOs go to jail for. Are you listening Darl McBride?
