I don't think this could count as a troll; posting the same comment in more than one place is still not a crime, although bad style. Yet, it's somewhat subjective to disqualify someone as a "less obvious" troll. Simply don't reply if you think they are, but sometimes people may make mistakes without being a troll.

You are right though that danw is off, whether deliberate or not:
Caldera did not "sell" to SCO. Caldera IS SCO. Renamed. Even if that claim about the unsigned GPL were true (which it is not - I am sure writing the GPL on one of the sold! OpenLinux Boxes counts as much as a signature), I cannot change my name and then say hey, all our previous implicit agreements are now invalid.
