There's loads of press coverage of this; I suggest that you have a rummage
around on the web. Slashdot and The Register will provide you with a
suitably cynical response, or try Wired, or even CNN.
Personally, I'm not in the least concerned. I agree with many of the
commentators who think it's just a ruse to get IBM to buy SCO, since that
company is on its last legs.
