Hoping to build a $12 million line of business during its current fiscal quarter, The SCO Group Inc. claimed Wednesday to have signed up at least one new customer for its Linux licensing scheme and is retooling its sales force to make its case more effectively to a skeptical market.
Despite the community outrage, SCO received over 900 telephone calls in the week after it went public with the licensing plan, and some of those calls have now begun turning into licensing deals, according to company spokesman Blake Stowell. The company has signed up at least one additional customer since it sold its first IP License for Linux on Aug. 11, he said.
