If this goes to court in any manner, SCO may be required to show their source code, in order to prove their case. What do you think the chance are that there is modified GPL'd Linux Kernel source code sitting in there.
This will never go to court, there is too much to loose, and no one to sue.
If you are learning C++ I assume you mean to become a programmer one day. Do you think a company or sponsor is going to stop everything and all switch to Vi and G++ because you don't want to use Borland (Which they paid big money for)?
Learn to adapt to your suroundings, the world isn't specifically designed for one persons requirements. Instead of complaining about it, do the opposite and master it, I have 4 C++ compilers on my machine and have programmed in all of them. You never know when you might be forced into using a tool so learn them now before it's too late.
