quid pro quo - m$FT and SCO (Score 1)

This article is about M$FT is about them offering to license their server software to satisfy the US DoJ. Releveant to the SCO situation is that SCO is one of the "at least 8" companies that have bought licenses. In fact, its a little ambiguous, but it appears that SCO is one of "Four firms...signed up in the last three months..." Given that M$FT bought a license from SCO for their software during that period, the timing looks a little coincidental. I wonder how much SCO paid for their license?

First I'd heard of it...is it already well known?
