Check http://www3.sco.com/Company/Announce/p081996e.htm
for an announcement from SCO regarding their new free licencing of SCO
open server and soon or Unixware.
Any ideas on how this will affect the OS market?
Will this make any difference at all?
If SCO markets this well I think it could have a visible impact in the long term
survival of Unix.

SCO and Unixware sucks, I wouldn't use them if I would GET some
money for using them.....

Gee... not even if it mean you would have, legally:
o IBCS2 shared libraries
o ELF linkable Motif headers and libraries
o Mwm and other Motif programs that will run on any
system capable of running IBCS2 code
o A working X.desktop
o A working sample implementation of Streams, with header
files, for interoperability testing
o A working SMP implementation to stare at
o ActiveX and DLL support
o A copy of Wintif
o Visual Tcl
o A sample GUI administration implementation
o Email (Zmail?) and calendar programs
o The install scripts missing from BSD and Linux IBCS2 support
o A working NetWare file and print client sample
And so on...
At $0, or $19 with CDROM, the Motif alone is probably worth it...

Where is this list of featured published? I looked at www.sco.com,
but I did not find any mention of what comes packaged with
OpenServer.

Read the list of "what you get" from the SCO URL that was posted,
then look up each of the products seperately from their top level
page.
