None I know of. And I think that's good. SCO's press releases often verge on the hysterical, and many times contradict what SCO has said only weeks (or even days) before. I have the impression that recently, even those news sites and papers whose "reports" hitherto were mostly copy-and-paste-with-perhaps-a-pint-of-rephrasing eventually took notice and became sceptical. Have you considered the possibility that SCO's obviously exaggerated claims may have led many people to seek additional information themselves? And that sought information may have more impact than unsolicited lobbying? IMO, our case is too complex to be forced into the heads of people who aren't willing. But those who are will find lots, be it gnu.org, the FSF, or Groklaw. Of course, it only reaches those who actively take interest. But if SCO continues in this vain, their number will increase by the day. I'm especially impressed by the discipline the OS community has shown so far. I think SCO hoped for lots of emotional over-reactions, so that we all could be tagged bunch of wild fanatics. So far, we didn't take the bait. (not as if they wouldn't try anyway...
