I too read Dvorak idiodic commentary. The real outcome is irrelevant - the Open Source community is an international collection of developers who mostly don't give a rip about US legality. If SCO wins in the US, the development and housing will just move off-shore. The code will get fixed in time and all of the world will use it freely again.
This is the same reason that world-wide P2P networks will never get completely get shutdown.
Reminds me of the joke we played on a coworker - told her that the square packets from her application were congesting the network causing the round packets not to flow as well. We suggested using a packet analyzer to see if her team could recode the application.
