Now SCO has definitely completely lost their minds. After all, SCO itself was part of the consortium that placed the 1.2 specification of the ELF standard in the public domain.
And as for not being able to copy it: SCO is barking up the wrong tree there, because not every Linux platform uses ELF. For example, in the PowerPC processor area, completely different formats are in use, such as PEF. It would certainly be annoying to convert everything to a new format, but definitely not impossible.
And Apple will certainly be very pleased, because they support the ELF ABI in the dlopen functions (although they use Mach-O as the format). Surely Apple would love to pay license fees to SCO for OS X.
