That is exactly what SCO is trying to do though. They want to rewrite history, ignore the number of files that were found to be illicitly Novell's(3) in the BSD agreement, and claim their Pinto is a Ferrari. They bought material that although IANAL seems to meet the definition below,
Acquiescence - Action or inaction which binds a person legally even though it was not intended as such. For example, action which is not intended as a direct acceptance of a contract will nevertheless stand as such as it implies recognition of the terms of the contract. For example, if I display a basket of fruit in a marketplace and you come by, inspect an apple and then bite into it, you have acquiesced to the contract of sale of that apple. Acquiescence also refers to allowing too much time to pass since you had knowledge of an event which may have allowed you to have legal recourse against another, implying that you waive your rights to that legal recourse.*
Now in order to prove that this did not occur they have to invalidate past legal agreements between previous holders of the copyrights. Because if those agreements are valid then they have 3 files and not a trunk. I just wonder if any of his statements about indivduals (read Linus) qualify as slander.
