For the copy of Mandrake you now have.  Wait...check that: it's $1399.00
for every CPU that's running a copy of kernel 2.4 or above.

Linux users face a serious question. Is $699 too much to pay for a good
bath? 

The $699 scrubbing fee is exactly how much SCO wants for one CPU's worth
of a Linux license, and that's just for the time being. Come October 15,
the single CPU fee jumps to a whopping $1,399. 

This is the latest word from SCO handed down by Mr. Clean himself - SCO
CEO Darl McBride, during a Tuesday conference call. SCO had been holding
out on exactly how much it planned to charge Linux users for their use
of what it claims is borrowed Unix code, but now all has been made clear
- crystal clear. .....................
