Many people in this newsgroup have commented that SCO's management have
been stupid about the way the IP issues have been handled.

I showed last week how SCO' IT department had failed to perform a
basic security measure when configuring SCO's nameservers (it's since
been fixed).

Now, let's look at marketing. If you want to establish a brand name,
it's ususal to register the appropriate domain name, just as a
defensive measure. So, let's look at some of the SCO's names:

UNIXWARE:
        Unixware.com
Registrant:
   Mindbank Developments
   41035 Yokohl Dr
   Springville, California 93265
   United States

   Registered through: GoDaddy.com
   Domain Name: UNIXWARE.COM
      Created on: 27-May-98
      Expires on: 26-May-04
      Last Updated on: 27-Aug-03

 Clearly, not owned by SCO!

OPENSERVER:
 Domain name: OPENSERVER.COM

 Administrative Contact:
    Superkay Worldwide, Inc. Hostmaster dotcompeople@msn.com
    PO Box 1027
    Seoul, NA 110-610
    KR
    +82-11-888-6005

Again, not SCO. There seems to be some kind of search engine there.

SCOSOURCE:

        SCOSOURCE.COM
Registrant:
   Domains by Proxy, Inc.
   15111 N Hayden Rd., Suite 160
   PMB353
   Scottsdale, Arizona 85260
   United States

Well, since it is a proxy registration, can't tell immediately. However,
if you look at the website:
http://www.scosource.com it's clearly not owned by SCO.

There you have it.
