SCO's beef is technically with the Linux kernel 2.4 and newer. Solution: Dust off an old distro with Kernel 2.2 and run that.
The whole deal revolves around SCO's allegations that IBM borrowed copyrighted Unix code and incorporated it into Linux to improve Unix program compatibility, thus hurting SCO's business. SCO would be severely impacted if the Unix-alike, Linux, were now Just-Like Unix, and people no longer needed to pay for a genuine Unix solution - they could get it for free, or perhaps with some IBM hardware instead of AIX.
SCO sure sounds stupid with all of the boneheaded lawsuits, but maybe, just maybe they didn't just pull this lawsuit with IBM, out of their ass. The allegedly infringing IBM contributions presumably appear in some 2.3 beta on the way to 2.4. So... do what you want to do with a 2.2 build for all it's worth.
