SCO wants to keep it secret so that when it comes to trial they can say to the judge that Linux currently uses this stolen code... if it's been replaced before the case gets to court then it will mean they win money from IBM, but it would be idiotic to ask for a cease and desist of Linux distribution order if the code's been replaced...
Don't you think that they might just want the names and addresses of everyone they send their code to, so when we all realise it's not GPL derived work, it's not been posted on the web and they have a controled list of people with acces to parts of their os... ?
I read quite a few of these comments and didn't find anything mentioned about Cognitive Dimensions (http://www.thomas-green.ndtilda.co.uk/workStuff/P apers/introCogDims/ ) or Ontological Sketch Modeling (http://www.thomas-green.ndtilda.co.uk/workStuff/P apers/OSMsIntro/OSMsIntro.html )... both very good places to start depending on how far you want to go with the analysis before you start introducing design patterns... Definately recomend starting somewhere like this
