I'd feel a *lot* happier if we'd finally get confirmation from SCO that they both know about this license and agree that it's genuine. I was contacted by a reporter a week or so ago, and I told her about it. She contacted Caldera, who pointed to http://shop.caldera.com/caldera/ancient.html as the current valid license agreement: > When I mentionned to SCO that they had released free licenses to > ancient Unix, they said that that license was for non-commercial > use.
