Subject: Ralph Yarro's directorship of TrollTech

Hello,

As I'm sure you have heard, the actions since May of last year of a
U.S. corporation called "The SCO Group" (which last year changed its
name from "Caldera Systems") have caused an uproar in the Linux
community.

Under the chairmanship of Ralph Yarro, SCO has sued AutoZone for
copyright infringement over its use of Linux, and made written threats
to file similar suits against hundreds of other corporations, without
ever specifying exactly what code it is whose copyrights are allegedly
being infringed and exactly what parts of Linux it is whose copying is
alleged to infringe those copyrights.

It is reported in biographies of Mr. Yarro at ViaWest and
Power Innovations that he is a director of TrollTech.  See:

  http://www.viawest.net/page.asp?id=23
  http://www.power-innovations.com/power_innovations/board.html

I am aware of the disclosure on TrollTech's website that SCO owns 1.6%
of TrollTech's shares, and the Canopy Group owns another 4.1%.  I
would appreciate more information about this connection.
Specifically:

 - How much, if any, stock of SCO or Canopy Group does TrollTech own?

 - Is Ralph Yarro a director of TrollTech AS?

   - If not, when was he last a director, if ever?

   - If he is a director:

     - When did the shareholders last elect him to that position?

     - When does his current term expire?
       
     - According to TrollTech's by-laws and any other binding
       obligations, what proportion of the ownership would be required
       to remove Mr. Yarro from the board before the expiration of his
       term?  That is, could the owners of a simple majority of
       TrollTech's stock effect such an action?  Or would a 75%
       majority be required, or something else?

Thank you in advance for clarifying this relationship.


Yours truly,

Al Petrofsky
