So EV1Servers.net buys licenses for 20,000 Linux machines, and SCO makes $20,000 from selling Linux licenses. Assuming that the EV1 sales were counted in that quarter, they would have paid at most $1/CPU (less if there were other customers ...). The numbers seem quite similar.

No, the $20K was for fiscal Q1, while the EV1 deal transpired during this quarter. How much the EV1 deal was for, whether it was paid in cash, and over what period it will be recognized are all subject to conflicting reports. I wrote up some details in a Wednesday Yahoo SCOX posting.
