Umm, no.  (/me thinks you've been reading too many IBM press releases,
and believing them ;o).  HP specifically stated that it would take up
the legal defense for its customers sued by SCO (for those customers who
take advantage of HP's indemnity offer).  The purchase price of linux
wasn't even mentioned in HP's offer.

Cheers!
