Didn't SCO allow private (non commercial) use as well? I think the
commercial UN*X market is under pressure because of the omnipresence of
NT and the free availibility of Linux. They seem to understand (3 years
to late) that there is no harm by someone "playing" with their software
without commercial interest.

But after all, think I read sun is going to support Linux anyway. Linux
must be putting a lot of pressure onto the UN*X market. I like it. ;-)
