It's not forgotten, it just doesn't matter in any meaningful way. We're talking about two years of legal issues that took place during one of the fastest moving eras in computer technology. In Linus' own words at the time that this was happening: "Actually, I have never even checked 386BSD out; when I started on Linux it wast available (although Bill Jolitz series on it in Dr. Dobbs Journal had started and were interesting), and when 386BSD finally came out, Linux was already in a state where it was so usable that I never really thought about switching. If 386BSD had been available when I started on Linux, Linux would probably never had happened." The SCO lawsuit that happened a decade after this is pretty much irrelevant.
