As the wave of dead depart the black ships...
The SCO Group cannot expect to win any case based upon application interfaces which it's AT&T, USL and Novell predecessors relased in open standards specifically for the purpose of interoperability.

signal.h, errorno.h,and ioctl are all parts of many released standards including The Open Group and IEEE POSIX Base Specifications and the Federal Information Processing Standards Publication 151-2.

http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/basedefs/errno.h.html
http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/007904975/functions/ioctl.html
http://www.itl.nist.gov/fipspubs/fip151-2.htm


Note that The SCO Group does not own the copyrights on any of those standards and it does not own clear title to the copyrights on most of the AT&T Unix base.

From 1989, the then SCO activity pushed for the adoption of the iBCS Intel Binary Compatibility Specificationsacross *all* i386 Unix vendors

For the benefit of the entire user base, as well as the industry as awhole, SCO encourages all UNIX System vendors for Intel processors to join SCO, USL, Intel, ISC and OSF in supporting the iBCS-2 standard for x86 applications.

In LOTR:ROTK there is a seen where the souls of dead men rise up in mass to totally overwhelm the enemy in answer to a broken promise. Such a fate awaits the SCO Groups claims.
