SCO redistributing Nmap?

Hey guys,

SCO Corporation of Lindon, Utah (formerly Caldera) has lately taken to
an extortion campaign of demanding license fees from Linux users for
code that they themselves knowingly distributed under the terms of the
GNU GPL.  They have also refused to accept the GPL, claiming that some
preposterous theory of theirs makes it invalid.  In response to these
blatant violations, and in accordance with section 4 of the GPL, I am
considering terminating SCO's rights to redistribute any versions of Nmap in
any of their products, including (without limitation) OpenLinux,
OpenServer, and UNIXWare.

Does anyone here know whether SCO/Caldera actually DOES redistribute
Nmap in OpenLinux, any of their other products, their web/ftp
distribution sites, or elsewhere?

Thanks,
Fyodor
