SCO Woes III: 6 weeks later. I still can't buy a license from SCO.
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 SCO Woes III: 6 weeks later. I still can't buy a license from SCO. by Drew It has been six weeks since my initial contact with SCO regarding getting a license for my Linux appliance server business, and SCO's apathy towards the sale is as great as it ever was. If I didn't know any better, I'd say their sales department now has a well orchestrated circle of runarounds to keep you from actually pinning anybody down. I left off my last letter in this series with a phone call to my friendly sales rep who had promised to call me back within days. I never received a call back from that rep, and left them a couple more friendly messages asking for information to no avail. Feeling left out in the cold, I called the SCO main sales line and asked to be routed to a sales person who could help me with buying Linux server licenses. I was routed to a regional sales rep, whose voicemail got a polite request for information, again with no response. I called the main SCO sales line again and told them that I _really_ needed to talk to someone about a sale, as I was ready to purchase, and couldn't find anyone to take my money. I was routed to _another_ sales rep in my area, and since he was of course not immediately available, I left another voicemail. This one at least called back. He didn't have any Linux license information for me, but took my questions (including how can I buy this now?) and promised me a callback. Sound familiar? I didn't receive a callback with any answers, but I did receive an email from this new rep telling me that the _original_ person I had talked to would be contacting me within a couple days with answers. It has been 6 days since my latest broken promise from SCO, and I'm really not wondering why they are a doomed company, with the way they treat their potential customers. Once again, I have called that original SCO rep and requested information and a followup on my original questions. This was all on voicemail of course, since actually getting a SCO rep on the phone is apparently a task worthy of a congressional medal. I have a request of Linux (or really any) news organizations.

Hasn't it occurred to you that they don't want to sell you a license because if their IP claims are proven false... they could be charged with fraud?? It's just more smoke and mirrors.

No but I'm using them with 2.4.20 from SuSE.
