Isn't Linux just UNIX under a different name?
,----[ Quote ]
| Yet, the bottom line is Linux is not UNIX. Make no mistake. Linux was not
| derived from the original program code and it is not subject to any UNIX
| licensing arrangement (some may say constraint.) In fact, Linux is not
| legally able to call itself UNIX (and incidentally, neither is BSD anymore.)
|
| No, despite the affection long-timers in the industry might have for UNIX
| there’s no denying Linux has taken on a life of its own and is driving modern
| development faster than any proprietary team. In a twist of fate, Linux poses
| a challenge to the mighty Microsoft whose server-based operating systems led
| pundits to question the viability of UNIX just two decades ago.
|
| Linux ain’t UNIX. And in fact Linux has left UNIX behind. The UNIX name has
| become bogged down with fragmented development and legal battles making it a
| shell of its former self. Linux is the new UNIX, it alone is the embodiment
| of the elegant design and hacker spirit that UNIX originally represented.

Santa Cruz and its "Linux Strategy" Back in the 1990s
,----[ Quote ]
| Here are some more screenshots for you, showing the real Santa Cruz Operation
| relationship with Linux before the modern day SCO Group began suing the world
| and its dog. Back in the late 1990s, Santa Cruz had what it called its "Linux
| strategy". It included both money and support to help Linux succeed.
|
| [...]
|
|
| It's clear Santa Cruz was trying to endear itself to the Linux and Open
| Source communities. The press release references its "ongoing strategy to
| support the Linux and Open Source movements".

SCO Blast From The Past
,----[ Quote ]
| Once upon a time, there was a Linux company named SCO. They were a good
| company until evil overlords bent on sueing the world arrived on the scene.
| This isn't that story.

SCO pulps Caldera-MS trial archives
,----[ Quote ]
| The Caldera antitrust lawsuit included some of the most damning evidence of
| Microsoft misconduct; breakware, black propaganda, all was there, the
| potential embarrassment being such that there was good reason for Microsoft
| to settle, then try to pretend it never happened. Now, however, maybe it
| didn't ever happen - because the evidence is being pulped.
|
| AP reports that the 937 boxes of court-ordered documents, which have been in
| store since the lawsuit, are currently being destroyed at the behest of SCO,
| their owner and - surely coincidentally - Microsoft's new friend. Some 40
| boxes have been temporarily hijacked by Sun, which is busily scanning them
| for use in its own antitrust suit, but after it's done so they'll be off for
| pulping too.
