SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 4, 2003--Red Hat (Nasdaq: RHAT - 
News) today made two significant announcements to protect Red Hat Linux 
customers and the worldwide Linux industry. First, Red Hat announced 
that it filed a formal complaint against The SCO Group, Inc. (Nasdaq: 
SCOX, "SCO"). The purpose of this complaint is to demonstrate that Red 
Hat's technologies do not infringe any intellectual property of SCO and 
to hold SCO accountable for its unfair and deceptive actions.

"We filed this complaint to stop SCO from making unsubstantiated and 
untrue public statements attacking Red Hat Linux and the integrity of 
the Open Source software development process," said Mark Webbink, 
General Counsel at Red Hat. "Red Hat is confident that its current and 
future customers will continue to realize the significant value that our 
Red Hat Linux platform provides without interruption."
