I don't know why AOL keeps being brought up, but it's highly unlikely they would do this. For one, it's probably used internally for smart cards/SMIME. Secondly, it'd be very hard to get AOL to spend money on doing something for free. Moving a CA to a different company is no small feat, operationally...

how long ago was that?
feel free to let me know why that matters.
