as a service to the linux community, i am poasting a direct link to
the sco website where you can go to purchase your linux licenses ...
remember, you must purchase one license per cpu to legally run linux
on your computer ... a single license is $699 US dollars, but you can
buy 8 packs for only $4,999 US dollars ... you may also ask sco to
allow you to run linux on the annual basis ... for only $149 US
dollars, sco will allow you to run any linux distro on a single cpu
for a whole year!

kudos to sco for setting up an easy and efficient vehicle for linux
users to legitimize and register their linux distros ... those of you
who are running windows, mac osx, unix or solaris on your computers do
not need to take any action, as these licenses only apply to linux
machines.

Yeah, the results from their last quarter shows they generated a whole $20,000
selling Linux licenses. Of course in the same period they lost $22 million,
but who's counting? All they need to do is increase the sales of their shared
source licenses by 1,100 times, and they'll be back in the black! No problem.

From the looks of things, they would have made more money opening a hot dog
stand.

Check out the stock price today, (down 11.5% at 1 PM) I'd say their current
stock holders might not agree with their current business plan...or lack there
of...

Down 13.15% at the time of writing. It's sad, however, that AutoZone[1]
stock, a fairly stable stock otherwise, also seems to have taken a
beating today. Trade volume went up 10-20 times in the first hours
after the market opened. They do seem to be slowly recovering, though.

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you
didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away
from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream.

Has SCO ever heard of pre-veiwing pages before having them hosted?
What you get something from an outfit that is so amateurish?

SCO has proved that the only people who they can sue are their own
customers. This is because the only thing they can do is sue over contract
terms. Solution: Never buy an SCO license.

Reminds me of some horror stories I've heard from micros~1 business

Coincidence?

It's no longer a question of windows or GNU, it's a question of *Unix* or GNU.
