Scott, do you really think you're going to get any ink, except another of the "Desperate Sun Scrambles for Relevance" stories that are so common this year, out of getting into bed with SCO and its other licensee, Microsoft, on the Linux lawsuit?
Take your goofy little back-from-the-dead Solaris x86, your vast selection of 100 approved servers, and your thundering herd of -- ooo, I'm shaking in my boots -- 600 ISVs, and either play nice or shut up.
I can't recommend that anyone even consider an OS platform whose marketing position statement is, "almost as good as Linux, not as much compatible hardware and software, but Darl McBride is really scary! Booga, booga!"
I'm sorry you overpaid for a Unix license when the free software handwriting was on the wall, but we all make mistakes. Next time you have to kill Solaris x86 for lack of interest, I'll be happy to help you shop for a Linux distribution whose support people will talk to you without giggling.
