Right; SCO filed for bankruptcy in 2007, and it's amazing they still get
people to buy their products at all. I thought the suggestion of moving
the database server to another server was the best one here. If you
have an application that must be run on SCO, hopefully the PostgreSQL
part of it can at least be relocated onto another platform and system.

Talking about SCO always brings a smile to my face, as my first round of
serious PostgreSQL work was funded by profits I made shorting their
stock in 2003. After reading http://perens.com/SCO/SCOCopiedCode.html
and confirming the code mentioned was in my Lions commentary and "C
Programming Language" books, I opened a trading account and placed my
bet that they were wrong about infringement.
