There are a number of legal theories that can be used to go after that contract, which a lawyer would discuss better than I. But here's one. The SCO license is a contract to infringe, with SCO performing the infringing (violating GPL terms regarding the allowable licensing of derived works) but the customer knowingly contracting for SCO to do it.
