IBM Comment on SCO Press Release

June 16, 2003, Armonk, NY…. Since filing a lawsuit against
IBM, SCO has made public statements and accusations about IBM’s
Unix license and about Linux in an apparent attempt to create fear
uncertainty and doubt among IBM’s customers and the open source
community.

IBM’s Unix license is irrevocable, perpetual and fully paid up.
It cannot be terminated. This matter will eventually be resolved in
the normal legal process.

IBM will continue to ship, support and develop AIX which
represents years of IBM innovation, hundreds of millions of dollars
of investment and many patents. As always, IBM will stand behind
our products and our customers.

Trink Guarino
Director, IBM Media Relations
