Well,

<quote author=Moglen>

The Foundation notes that despite the alarmist statements SCO's
employees have made, the Foundation has not been sued, nor has
SCO, despite our requests, identified any work whose copyright the
Foundation holds-including all of IBM's modifications to the kernel
for use with IBM's S/390 mainframe computers, assigned to the
Foundation by IBM--that SCO asserts infringes its rights in any
way.

So how come that the FSF's "compliance lab" didn't purify the
kernel of *GNU*/Linux for IBM mainframes at least?
