Yes, it means that someone payed money for a useless certificate. Nothing more, nothing less.

BTW, Linux is UNIX too!

So all APIs provided by all Linux distributions fully support the POSIX specification to the smallest detail?
Maybe after some nonsense like "export POSIXLY_CORRECT" and defining a few macros.
Which means it isn't actually a proper UNIX out of the box.
Verdict: no true scotsman is true unix.

Yes, the certificate is useless

Unfortunately some people will only sign big cheques if the given useless certificate is present

Hey, before you call certificates like that 'useless' just think of the thousands of government jobs that depend on them!
