The important issue is the terms of the SCO Linux "license" which EV1
bought.
AFAIK, the terms of the SCO Linux "license" (which become binding once
the document is signed and becomes a contract from legal point of view)
are such that EV1 are permitted to use only a certain binary-only
version of Linux kernel. I assume that this is binding also upon their
customers.
In other words, if you host your Web site in EV1 and want to use your
choice of Linux kernel, then their agreement with SCO would block you
from using the kernel of your choice.
This, if I got my facts straight, renders EV1 service much worse than
the service available from other ISPs.
Again, I do not know the current legal status, and whether they
officially voided their "license".
