Darwin is based on the MACH+BSD kernel. It would be non-trivial to throw away the kernel and write an effective replacement from scratch.

Er no. It would take quite a bit of development to do that and they would lose support for the numerous UNIX applications that already run on OSX. Unless they intend to rewrite Unix from scratch. Which is just retarded. I would see Apple being like every other intelligent company and laughing at SCO like the rest of us. SCO is full of bullshit and they need to be put in prison for the kinds of things they are doing right now.
There, Darl and pals gets raped just like in Retarded Animal Babies 8 (see Newgrounds.com).

SCO has sued a company for using a Linux OS, claiming that doing so violates their copyrights.

This makes me wonder two things:
1. Will they eventaully start trying to sue general home Linux users like the RIAA
2. How is OSX safe from this? It's basically a Linux distro too.

Why do people like you even try to have a clue.
Your life is pointless, kill your inner-process now.
OS-X is not Linux, its Darwin, there is more linux in the lining of my nutsack then OS-X.

Exactly what do they think they own? And which distro does AutoZone use? The article was kinda unclear.

They think they own every line of the kernel.

That part particularly interested me
I hope that SCO's lawsuits fall through, and not only that, i hope that IBM turn around and say "hey, wassat all about, innit!" and sue them in return.
