Which way did they Sco?

Are they endemnifying their customers? After all, they're all buddy-buddy with Sco, are they including a linux license from Sco with each copy? Since they went and bought more license from Sco, wouldn't it be fraudulent for them to sell a product that they don't consider properly licensed???

Maybe that's where Sco's first big end-user lawsuit is going to come from? Some poor hapless Sun customer who bought a bunch of JDS's??

I'm not trolling, I just think Sun is playing it both ways and it bothers me. Because they are financially supporting Sco, they are in part responsible for Sdco's actions. It is of course possible that Sco had them over some sort of barrell, like failure to include proper copyright notices in Solaris...... that is not an accusation, merely a hypothetical with no basis in fact...
