Sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

Hard to be sure since SCO refuses to identify which code is
infringing.  But I doubt it; the "contentious" code is supposedly
based on Unix copyrights, which would almost certainly be referring to
C code.

I believe the Linux A20 code was contributed by the SYSLINUX author,
who definitely never worked for IBM.

It is, however, covered by GPL...
