The SCO Group confirmed Thursday that three more companies--Computer Associates
(CA), Leggett & Platt, and Questar--have purchased licenses for its intellectual
property, allowing them to run Linux without fear of SCO legal action.
However, Computer Associates Inc. soon blasted The SCO Group Inc. for harassing
Linux users and misrepresenting the terms of a software licensing arrangement
between the two companies that protected CA from a potential SCO lawsuit. A CA
executive said that his company had purchased no such license, but had instead
acquired a large number of licenses for SCO's UnixWare operating system as part
of a US$40 million breach of contract lawsuit settlement in August 2003 with SCO
investor The Canopy Group Inc
This shows how desperate SCO has become when all their strategies are failing.
