For SCO, they've exhausted the judges' patience - very dangerous. For IBM, its a chess game where they don't want a wrong move.
It gets down to telling the story, line by line, like in "Source Code Secrets The Basic Kernel", for the judge. If you don't have the time or venue to tell the story, it won't be heard, you won't win.
The first step is the schedule. SCO also wants as many times at bat to save the bacon.
What's truely astonishing to me is how far SCO's gone to depending on discovery here. Their "hail mary" bet appears to be that IBM was inept/cynical, and that will let them make the story as they see fit. So I don't see a grand long range strategy, just a fast and vicious court fight that depends on something that happened many years back.
