 Breaking News--SCO OpenServer 6 Launches with Unix SVR5 Kernel
The Legend release of OpenServer, which will be sold as OpenServer 6, is the kicker to OpenServer 5, which was launched in 2002 and is the fifth generation of entry-level Unix for X86 platforms that SCO (in one corporate incarnation or another) has brought to market since OpenServer was first delivered in 1992.
While OpenServer 5.0.7 is notable in that it provided some limited support for UnixWare 7 applications, OpenServer 5 was based on the Unix System V Release 3.2 kernel, which is very old and has some pretty severe limitations in terms of threading, main memory, and file system support.
OpenServer 5.0.7 only supported threads at the user level, was limited to scaling across four processors in an SMP configuration, 4 GB of main memory and file sizes of 2 GB; it only supported FAT and FAT16 file systems, did not support multipath I/O, and was missing hot plug features for key components.

 The SCO Group v
The SCO OpenServer Shared Libraries are the proprietary and confidential property of SCO.  SCO OpenServer has been licensed to numerous customers subject to restrictions on use that prohibit unauthorized use of any of its software code, including without limitation, the SCO OpenServer Shared Libraries.
While the original SCO OpenServer operating system performs with all the reliability and dependability of other UNIX systems, it was originally designed for the initially low processing power of Intel chips.  Therefore, SCO OpenServer does not contain, or require, the same level of scalability and extensibility that other versions of UNIX offer.
SCO’s Trade Secrets derive independent economic value, are not generally known to third persons, are not readily ascertainable by proper means by other persons who can obtain economic value from their disclosure and use, and are subject to reasonable efforts by SCO and its predecessors to maintain secrecy.

 SCO Makes Its Pitch With OpenServer 6 - News by InformationWeek   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-07)
In the background of the OpenServer 6 launch, Lindon, Utah-based SCO remains embroiled in bitter lP litigation with IBM, Novell and Red Hat over the alleged use of System V Unix code in the Linux kernel, among other copyright issues.
Still, loyal SCO partners said customers are ignoring the legal proceedings, and now solution providers hope that the software vendor can hit a home run with OpenServer 6.
"OpenServer 6 is a great technology upgrade for us and our clients because it provides the Unix Release V kernel with the administrative and user interface of OpenServer, a strong preference of many of our clients over Linux and other pure Unix derivatives.

SCO’s lawyers are threatening to make the case a test of the validity of the Free Software Foundation's General Public License (GPL), under which the Linux kernel and the GNU programs that make up the Linux operating system are distributed.
Were SCO to prevail, it might hinder development of Linux and make the general public’s ability to obtain it difficult.

 The SCO Group v
While the original SCO OpenServer operating system performs with all the reliability and dependability of other UNIX systems, it was originally designed for the initially low processing power of Intel chips.  Therefore, SCO OpenServer does not offer the same level of multiprocessor capabilities that other versions of UNIX offer.
SCO, on the other hand, had over 15 years of expertise in adapting UNIX to Intel based systems.  Moreover, SCO had spent the previous 18 months working closely with Intel to adapt its existing UnixWare product to work on the new 64-bit Intel processor.
SCO is entitled to damages in an amount measured by the benefits conferred upon IBM by its ongoing, improper use of the Software Products.  These damages include the full amount IBM receives as a result of its ongoing sales of AIX, including software, services and hardware.

 The Unix Guardian--SCO Aims at Linux with SCAMP Stack
SCO is, in fact, in the process of gradually converging these product lines, a process that began with the launch of the "Legend" OpenServer 6 release last June, which has Unix System V Release 5 at its core.
SCO's "Project Fusion" Unix release, which will be based on Unix System V Release 6, will, as the name suggests, offer a fully fused OpenServer-UnixWare product as well as 64-bit memory addressing and native support XML and probably Xen and VMware virtual machine partitions.
Hence, the SCAMP Stack, which includes OpenServer 6 licenses, the Apache Web server (which is already in the operating system), a MySQL 5 database (which was recently certified on OpenServer 6 after a partnership with MySQL was hammered out last September), and the Perl and PHP development languages.

Much of the text was written in a format suggesting that impartial analysis resulted in a determin- ation that SCO Unix was the ideal "network server" and Windows 95 was the ideal "network client".
The statements may be factual, but I would have appreciated a greater look into why SCO was superior over other similar operating systems like Sun Microsystem's "Solaris" and Novell's Netware 4.x, (both of which also run on the PC).
It is ideal for the administrator that has already chosen SCO for their network.

 SCO Group's case against Linux | CNET News.com
John Ferrell, an intellectual-property attorney with Carr and Ferrell in Palo Alto, Calif., said Monday that it would be difficult for SCO to prove that its code had leaked into the Linux operating system, which includes many utilities released under the GNU General Public License.
If SCO identifies the specific parts of the Linux code that it believes it owns, developers in the free software movement could replace it with their own work.
SCO's implication of wider claims could turn Linux into an intellectual-property minefield, with potential users and allies perpetually wary of being mugged by previously unasserted IP claims, and ever-more-outlandish theories of entitlement being propounded by parties with only the most tenuous relationship to anyone who ever wrote actual program code."
