Re: [PLUG] Is this some weird April Fool's day stunt?

This is purely opinion, but the pandemic is hard on everyone and I can't think of any job I have been at where they use sco unix but I have worked at a job which took defensive action because of the sco lawsuit the first time around.  I think sco is probably struggling financially and are resorting to a lawsuit again because Linux is literally ubiquitous now and very few companies want to pay for unix licenses, although I will say I have seen production Solaris servers recently and I personally know someone who manages AIX servers but these are not very common.

PRNewswire and ZDNet presented this seemingly absurd story as spanning 31 March and 1 April.

One of the links in the ZDNet article goes to a YouTube file from "Farm Aid '05", yet all the others seem to hold water. I figure that either someone put a lot of effort into a practical joke, or this Snyder fellow really did fail to learn from the "SCO[W?] Group" fiasco.
