I was thinking just the opposite. Given the recent Windows10/Ubuntu news, that might mean the SCO can extract not only big money from IBM but royalties from Microsoft as well.

I could be wrong and often am, but this makes me go hmmmm.....

Back in 1995, I worked for a company installing SCO Unix and Xenix on computers, installing multiport boards, and lots of Wyse dumb terminals.

Typically, my boss, co-owner of the company, would have me install the same “license” on multiple clients, saving him lots of money, but also having me break a few laws. I was a newb at the whole thing, and did it. I only worked there a short time (a year? 18 months tops).

No one even remembers Xenix.

God I’m old.
