The SCO IP License program is an end-user program for the right to use SCO IP in binary format. The IP License does not grant distribution rights, nor does it grant any rights associated with source code. SCO doesnt offer a license to cure the infringement on the part of the Linux distributor because SCOs source license agreement directly conflicts with the GPL.
