That would be beautiful

I can imagine it:

    Judge sees SCOg(x?) mis-representing something and points to the clear record asking SCOg to explain itself.
    Failing to rationally explain the situation, Judge orders sanctions by having SCOg pay IBM's costs for having to respond to the misrepresentation.
Of course, I doubt costs will have any impact on SCOg. But maybe if sufficient costs start getting tacked on - perhaps Cahn will take a closer look at what's really going on.

That - of course - assumes Cahn has not taken a close look and only got a high-level Executive summary from BSF.

SCO has absolutely nothing left to lose where a "harder line" could
take hold in this case. Maybe the lawyers are actually hoping for a
"harder line" that will cut this game short: after all, they are
working on contingency basis now. So they can afford to go for an
all-or-nothing approach, since both "all" as well as
"nothing" will be better for their bottom line as half-baked things in
between.

The only loss that is still possible for SCO is in criminal proceedings against
the persons at its helm during regular operations and bankruptcy.

But that's independent from this case, and it does not look like anybody would
care enough.
