THE SCO GROUP ANNOUNCES SIGNING OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY COMPLIANCE LICENSE
FOR SCO UNIX RIGHTS 

Fortune 500 licensee acquires SCO UNIX license for concurrent run-time use
of Linux 

LINDON, Utah-August 11, 2003-The SCO. Group (SCO)(Nasdaq: SCOX) today
announced the signing of its first Intellectual Property Compliance License
for SCO UNIX Rights. This announcement comes less than a week after the
commencement of the SCO IP License for Linux program. Terms of the deal and
the Fortune 500 company name were not disclosed based on confidentiality
provisions of the agreement, but a license was purchased for each of the
Linux servers running their business. 

"We've had more than 300 companies in the first four business days of this
program contact SCO to inquire about SCO's Intellectual Property License
for Linux," said Chris Sontag, senior vice president and general manager,
SCOsource, SCO's software licensing division. "This Fortune 500 company
recognizes the importance of paying for SCO's intellectual property that is
found in Linux and can now run Linux in their environment under a
legitimate license from SCO. We anticipate this being the first of many
licensees that will properly compensate SCO for our intellectual property.
After having initiated the program last week, we are very pleased with the
licensing interest to date."       

For more information on the SCO Intellectual Property License for Linux,
contact SCO by calling (800)726-8649 or visit the SCO Web site at

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
