EV1 cuts deal with SCO for linux "license"

In a move that is upsetting many clients, EV1 has signed a contract with SCO for linux:
SCO press release on Yahoo
(SCO) today announced an intellectual property licensing agreement with EV1Servers.Net, a dedicated hosting division of Houston-based Everyones Internet (EV1.Net). Under the terms of the agreement, SCO will provide EV1Servers.Net with a site license that allows the use of SCO IP in binary form on all Linux servers managed by EV1Servers.Net in each of its hosting facilities.

InternetNews coverage:
SCO spokesman Blake Stowell declined to give the exact value of the deal but said it was worth at least $1 million.

EV1servers.net is a $99-per-month Web site hosting company. Formerly known as RackShack.Net, the company has been in existence since 1999 and claims 400,000 customers in 42 states.

"They have 20,000 servers total," Stowell said. "The majority of those are Linux servers. This is a site license that covers those servers."
