Each system that runs an operating system that contains SCO IP needs to be licensed. The SCO IP License is the vehicle that SCO is offering to accomplish this. SCO doesnt offer any license that grants the right to ship SCO IP in source form as a stand alone product, or as part of any other product, either internally or externally. SCO cannot license its source code for use with Linux because SCOs UNIX source code licenses are incompatible with the terms of the GPL. To protect its rights and the rights of our existing UNIX licensees, suppliers and licensors, SCO cannot condone licensing or distribution of our source code under the GPL.
