So what happens if it's actually the other way around? ie, SCO copied parts of linux and put that into it's own product? That would make SCO in violation of the GPL, and if Microsoft takes that code, they get into the same boat.

In order to prove that Unix code was used in linux, SCO may have to allow inspection of their code (to a closed audience). This would still be insufficient to prove whether the code came from SCO or from Linux.
