So what did SCO really buy when they bought UnixWare? All the hoopla at the time was that SCO now owned Unix. I do not recall anyone setting the record straight at that time. Especially Novell. Did SCO just buy the source for the UnixWare implementation of Unix (i.e., SVR4.2)? And the rights to sell compiled versions of UnixWare? Just curious. So is Novell in the position of picking all (any) good ideas from the SVR4.2 code and contributing them to Linux? At least in terms of ownership of said ideas? There may be non-legal reasons not to do so. But if this does or does not happen is fully Novell's decision? Despite the bad press UnixWare got, I was a happy user. The last release we did used the KDE 2.? desktop. Not too bad. -- Roger Oberholtzer OPQ Systems / Ramböll RST Ramböll Sverige AB Krukmakargatan 21 P.O.
