Neither is SUN (as they are doing the same) The reasoning they are using, is that *IF* customers are willing to pay for indemnification then who are they not to have them part with the money. For you see, the only reason IBM and SGI haven't done the same is mainly due to the fact that they have lawsuits pending against them from SCO. But HP is doing because they CAN. They ALSO have the FULL UNIX source... They also have LINUX SOURCE... you can only come to one conclusion: SCO's claims are bogus and HP is willing to stick its neck out for nearly ZERO risk of indemnification lawsuits. But it can get free money by offering it. Best part is, as soon as they put Oracle or Sybase or some such... the certification is lost anyway. Only on certain configurations of certain machines with certain setups. So I would get to up in arms about it. -- greg, greg@gregfolkert.net REMEMBER ED CURRY! http://www.iwethey.org/ed_curry Your eyes are much like milky pools of pantyhose.
