more questions on the sco linux license

mr. riggott,
 
15/10/2003 and the end of scosource's introductory license pricing is
fast approaching. to date all i have is your word on the phone that the
sco linux license is not available in europe and that the introductory
pricing period will be extended for european linux users. while i have
no reason to mistrust you - you are very business-like and polite on
the phone - i would really appreciate an email from you confirming this.
 
at work we always encourage people to document things, "because you could
be hit by a bus tomorrow," and just last year one of our co-workers *was*
hit by a bus (though he was ok after a few weeks). but three months
from now i could be talking to sco about you saying that the intro
price would be held for european companies and they might reply that
you'd cashed in all your stock options and quit to live in warmer climes.
and while i'd be happy for your good fortune, where would i be? - a phone
conversation with a former employee and a new policy saying i had to
pay ¤5,000 for something that only seems to cost ¤1,800 at the moment?
that's less than ideal.
 
if such an email is not possible, and i understand that i am just one
customer among thousands, could you let me know if licenses ordered from
the sco usa number (1-800-726-8649) are valid here in ireland/europe?
if so i could just ring them and stop bothering you.
 
lastly, just a reminder about the description of what i'd be buying.
i'm sorry to be a pest about this but i hope you understand that i really
will need to see that before making a purchase. in addition i read in
the news that sco is not sending out copies of the license to customers.
you do understand that is completely unacceptable? you can't expect
me to make an ¤1,800 purchase w/o a description of what i am buying
AND w/o getting a license. if i spent my money like that, i'd be broke
from sending money to all those relatives of dictators i get email from.
 
if you could please pass that up the chain i would appreciate that.
 
thanks for your time,
 
kevin lyda
 
ps to save you some trouble, i've cc'd the irish linux users group as
    well as a few tech journalists so that you won't just be answering
    me but a large number of irish linux users. i'm sure it would be a
    waste of your time to answer the same questions over and over again,
    so i hope this helps.
