Are those agreements really valid? Good point. If memory serves me correctly, the 1998 agreement was not free for the asking, but rather required shelling out US$100, which means that SCO "sold" something they never owned, which constitutes fraud (anybody with some legal background reading this: please correct). What's the statue of limitations (sp?) for this? Regards, Cornelius -- Cornelius Keck ckeck at texoma.net
