In case you haven't guessed, I'm thinking
about the various include
files in the Linux kernel that SCO has claimed infringes on their
copyrights. Many of the defines and comments seem to have originated
in Unix Edition 7 and earlier. For example,
errno.h - http://minnie.tuhs.org/UnixTree/Nsys/sys/nsys/user.h.html
and http://minnie.tuhs.org/UnixTree/V5/usr/source/s4/errlst.c.html
which are all under a BSD license provided by Caldera, see

So technically, yes someone owns the copyright on these files, but
they permit the content of the files to be placed in other programs
or kernels.
