I understand what you mean, I was there in 2003 as well.
However, the youngest among us have also "lived through the SCO suit". The "final" SCO suits were only settled in November 2021 and in fact, the group which inherited SCO Linux has filed brand new suits in 2021 as well[0].
Note that SCO went bankrupt a decade before their lawsuits were wrapped up. The legal action was ongoing for 19 years. Something to remember when there's a potential you may have to fight someone with deep pockets, regardless if you're in the right. Even bankrupting your attacker may not spell the beginning of the end for your legal troubles.
