Sun has been known to feed the occasional troll, though.

Well... I can't comment on the reported share deal mentioned in the article, but I can say for a fact, from personal experience, that the source code licensing was a genuine licensing of code which was then used in Solaris x86 development. It's important to remember, sometimes, that before Caldera bought most of SCO and became TSG, SCO was an honest software company, with some genuinely valuable code and technical expertise. We may not have been the biggest friends of Linux in those days, but as a company, our main focus was Unix-on-x86, so it was direct competition rather than the later nasty legal stuff.
