In the early 1990s, a separate effort known as the Common API Specification or Spec 1170 was initiated by several major vendors, who formed the COSE alliance in the wake of the Unix wars.
This specification became more popular because it was available at no cost, whereas the IEEE charged a substantial fee for access to the POSIX specification.
Management over these specifications was assigned to X / Open who also received the Unix trademark from Novell in 1993.
Unix International ( UI ) merged into Open Software Foundation ( OSF ) in 1994 only to merge with X / Open to form The Open Group in 1996.
