I only heard about this today, a friend emailed me about it.
Anyway, not sure where the current case is, or the exact state, but this website gives a pretty good summary of it

Okay, now I have to admit. By the time I got to the slide that read "SCO was left looking like an idiot", I was cracking up. That's was some funny stuff.

You only heard about SCO's baseless claims yesterday?!? Look at Slashdot like weekly, and you'll see SCO on it, and then you'll see how bad their claims are.

Yeah, read Slashdot. Its also interesting to note how few people, and especially companies, have actually paid for SCOs license. Many companies also have the "fuck you, show us how we are infringing" attitude towards the infringement. I am very certain this case will be thrown out of court, especially seeing as many of SCOs own arguments would make them guilty of license infringement as well.
