Linux has one 'survival of the fittest' characteristic that guarantees its long term success. It is open source and has a real community behind it.
To briefly address your other flamebait points:
IBM is not the only major contributor to Linux. Major corporate contributors include lots of well known names. In fact, Linux development is largely corporate contributors.
As for the obvious troll is obvious point about SCO, I would just say that SCO turned out to be little more than a bump in the road. A pimple on the butt of closed source software. Your mention of SCO seems unconnected to what leads in to it.
