I think he was joking. See 

Deluded SCO CEO on witness stand: "Linux is a copy of UNIX"

| Novell grilled McBride for the better part of 10 minutes about "filling a 
| form 10-K or 10-Q with the SEC that contained a false statement." Novell's 
| counsel reiterated that two separate 10-Q forms filed by SCO did not include 
| Sun or Microsoft revenue generated by UnixWare licenses. McBride adamantly 
| denied any wrong doing, saying that the licenses were for the trunk of SCO 
| intellectual property consisting of multiple brands, not the UnixWare product 
| branch. This was the most hostile point of the day, with the council asking  
| him the same question in several different ways.  After two hours on the 
| stand, McBride stepped down.

It also says "SCO played with fire..... and got burned." Tagged "SCOWned!".
