Parent article: The challenge of buying a license from SCO

A question comes to mind. Who sold the two Linux binary licenses and who
were the customers? If not the sales department to companies asking about
the program, then maybe it was McBride himself selling to other Canopy
Group companies :)

How did those two customers get such special treatment?

Maybe they don't want people to buy the licenses because they are afraid of
liability? Maybe they just didn't expect anyone to buy. This thing looks
more like a sham every day.

Just look for people wearing this on their shirt:

I bought a SCO Linux License,
and all I got was this lousy teeshirt.
I'm a SCOX-SUCKER!
