4. Even if the other points were somehow proven, large portions of the UNIX
code cannot be used against IBM.

It should bind would be more appropriate given that McBride has proven there
are people in the world willing to sue with absolutely nothing to sue
on.
Oracle has proven there are people willing to sue against promises
made from a predecessor (java, android, Sun).
Unfortunately the US Courts
appear to be an open invitation for any game including games that should not
exist in the first place.

Don't forget also, that SCOG claimed copyright in the code, stating that they
acquired said copyright from Novell.
NOVELL NEVER CLAIMED TO HAVE OWNED THE COPYRIGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE!
If you read Novell's filings, they all have weasel words to the effect of
"inasmuch as we may own any copyrights in Unix, we do XXX". Just
compare the two conflicting copyright registrations.
So the SCOG lawsuit has added no information whatsoever as to who owns Unix,
other than to show that it was never transferred to SCOG.
