Additionally, Caldera International agreed to the buyout of certain licenses for products bundled in older releases of The Santa Cruz Operation, Inc.’s software, and the buyback of 500,000 post split shares of Caldera International stock held by the Company for $555,000.

SCO Letter to Linux Users [PDF], December 19, 2003. Note that Caldera's homepage back in Dec. of 2003 described this letter and the Dear UNIX Licensees letter, next in the list, like this: "SCO has recently issued two letters intended to protect its intellectual property. Letter to UNIX Licensees Dec 18, 2003: This first letter was sent to UNIX Licensees, outlining terms within the UNIX license agreement. ABI Files Letter Dec 19, 2003: This second letter was sent to the Fortune 1000 in the U.S, outlining SCO's copyright claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act." The dates on the documents available are, however, both December 19. The Linux letter is a list of ABI files allegedly infringed. However, a SCO VP had said in a Computerworld article in March of 2003 that those ABIs were free to be used by anyone, suggesting those interested get them from this sourceforge page, the Linux A.B.I. project page, a project led by then-Caldera employee Christoph Hellwig. Further information in rebuttal here.
