Maybe.. because he is honest. Having gone and set up computers for a lot of small shops.. he is correct. The people consider it to be like the family sedan. They only worry about it when the oil light comes on.

"They don't necessarily know whether they have SCO or Linux"

That guy is being a little dishonest, or did not applyed a real happy phrasing. I belive he wanted to tell that users dont really now if there is SCO IP in Linux or not,...
But being a reseller he himself should now better, and he is showing "stupid incompetence" at least, because selling a licence for something that is plenty known to be "yet"(and forever) free TODAY(22/10/2003), only on base of SCO future guarantee, even in the surreal case of SCO being given right tomorrow, is a fraud...
... or than he is delibaretely being dishonest and should be arrested!
