I don't know the specifics of what SCO might sue for, but this sounds a lot like the suit AT&T brought against all the other Unix vendors in the early 1980s. The short version of the outcome of that was they agreed to pay AT&T (then Novell) a annual fee for using the Unix code base. Except Sun, they made a one time lump payment.
Also as I recall one of the motivations for the BSD distribution was to remove AT&T propriatary code, and since SCO inherieted AT&T's code I don't know what they would base those suits on.
