     Hmm, I've looked at this a number of times and don't see the
problem unless you're referring to the comma, I generally do quite well
with grammar stuff.  I even showed it to my "grammar nazi" girlfriend
who has a degree in English and she didn't spot the typo.  So, do tell,
where is it?  Don't keep us in suspense any longer.

} The SCO that is now sueing the world has little to do with the SCO that
} released SCO unix (formerly XENIX).

     The company that currently owns and distributes SCO Unix is
currently named SCO (actually, The SCO Group, Inc.)...

} So I don't think the derogatory comment is warranted at all.

...so, the comment does match.  I wasn't going to say anything; however,
I agree with you that it isn't warranted.  Actually, I would go so far
as to say that it doesn't belong there, since it is unprofessional and
is a blemish on an otherwise very fine product.  Politics doesn't
belong in software.  Even the FSF says you shouldn't desupport SCO
products since that would only hurt people that must use SCO products
for one reason or another.
