"Groklaw has reverse engineered the process by which the SCO Group came up 
with its list of files for the IBM case. "Essentially, that SCO searched for 
any reference in the Linux kernel source for SMP, JFS, RCU, and NUMA, and 
claimed all of those files as possibly infringing. They included the entire 
JFS source code, but, perhaps realizing that it would look really bad to 
claim a file that implicated SCO or Caldera by showing the names of their 
employees, removed those files."
