To be fair. It's most unlikely these licensors would waste time and effort, that they don't have to begin with, on IP/Software this ancient. There's no there there, i.e. there's no tiger.

PS. I'm not condoning anything. Or encouraging people to do any action whatsoever. Etc, etc.

LOL. I'm starting to get why a colleague recently added systemd to the list of interview items/questions he uses to filter out candidates for IT positions.


Sounds like he's the problem.

Skillz in new, widely adopted technology is not cause for dismissal.
