public domain != OSS
["If it's in the BSD agreement, you know there's a high likelihood it's in the public domain," Radcliffe said. "A judge has already expressed the pretty strong belief that it is in the public domain." ]

Even if that was the case changing the terms of the license from BSD to GPL will not look good for Linux.

It seems that SCO provided a list of headers that are the heart of the OS.
Removing them would disable the OS for a long time, and require a change for the entire architecture.
