Well, these are the same guys that bought a license from SCO for SCO's
alleged "IP" in Linux (and alledgedly in *BSD, before the settlement in
USL vs BSDi was made public). Apparently after a large
bribe^H^H^H^H^Hdiscount from Microsoft.

Definitely not the sharpest knife in the drawer, IMHO. But maybe I'm
being too harsh.

What they're effectively saying is "we don't value your business". The
only correct answer is, "fine, I'll take it elsewhere".
