I recently had to edit /etc/conf/cf.d/mtune to change a shared memory parameter on an OSR5 machine, and noticed this statement at the top:
* This Module contains Proprietary Information of Microsoft * Corporation and should be treated as Confidential.
What on earth could Microsoft have that is proprietary with tuning the SCO kernel?

The idea that Bill Gates has appeared like a knight in shining armour to lead all customers out of a mire of technological chaos neatly ignores the fact that it was he, by peddling second rate technology, led them into it in the first place, and continues to do so today. (Douglas Adams)

All kinds of things. Microsoft (like IBM etc.) has all manner of patents. No doubt Microsoft royalties help keep SCO expensive, too. It's all pretty disgusting when you really see what is going on. We get sold on the idea that patents are for protecting the lone inventor, but in fact nothing could be farther from the truth. Patents let big companies keep on bullying the little folk.

I only saw this (c)opyright in mtune. The other files do not have the copyright notice in it. Why would they put it in mtune, and not some of the other files in /etc/conf/cf.d?
