It was real suspect when SCO announced they actually sold a couple of licenses, but refused to name the licesees. It's pretty clear they just made it up for PR reasons. So, I think if you're stupid enough to fall for SCO's scam and purchase a license, I bet they will hold a big press conference and let the world know that you're their third valued customer.

If you want to be famous, this is a quick way to go.

I doubt they've made it up. They probably do have a few people who have paid them something for a license, probably just to help "the cause" and make SCO look good. I'd like to know who their customers are, though -- I would bet a decent steak dinner that at least one of the customers is in some way connected to Canopy.

I don't agree. They probably sold a couple of licenses. A couple
as in two. MicroSoft and Sun.

Don't diss Sun, man.

Sun are fighting the good fight dude - Don't mention them in the same noun phrase as Microsoft like that
