More fun than even that.

"SCO Responds to OSDL

"If vendors feel so confident with the intellectual property foundation under their 
massive
contributions into Linux, then they should put their money where their mouth is and 
protect
end users with true vendor-based indemnification," said Darl McBride, president and 
CEO, The
SCO Group, Inc."

"Novell Supports Enterprise Linux Customers with New Linux Indemnification Program

PROVO, Utah, Jan. 13 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Novell today announced it will offer 
its SUSE
LINUX Enterprise Server customers a new indemnification program designed to provide an
additional measure of protection against certain intellectual property challenges to 
Linux."

Right on, Novell (though it ain't cheap) - a press release remarkably free of typos 
within 12
hours.

May I take this opportunity of welcoming Novell back into the corporate space - even 
though I
doubt they know they're in it?
