A beta test version of AIX 5L for IA-64 systems was released, but according to documents released in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit, less than forty licenses for the finished Monterey Unix were ever sold before the project was terminated in 2002.

AIX was a component of the 2003 SCO v. IBM lawsuit, in which the SCO Group filed a lawsuit against IBM, alleging IBM contributed SCO's intellectual property to the Linux codebase.

* SCO v. Novell

The stated reason was that the SCO v. IBM lawsuit and The SCO Group's public attacks on Linux had made the alliance unworkable.

It emerged that no real work had been done on United Linux since soon after SCO v. IBM had started, and that SUSE had ceased active participation around this time.

The SCO v. Novell complaint was amended on February 3, 2006 to add copyright infringement claims, relating to Novell's distribution of SuSE Linux.

Vestiges of Sequent's innovations live on in the form of data clustering software from PolyServe, various projects within OSDL, IBM contributions to the Linux kernel, and claims in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit.

This project later fell through as both IBM and SCO turned to the Linux market, but is the basis for " the new SCO "' s SCO v. IBM Linux lawsuit.

On March 7, 2003, during McBride's tenure as CEO of the company, The SCO Group initiated litigation ( SCO v. IBM ) against IBM, alleging breach of contract and copyright infringement claims connected to Unix.

After Novell responded by denying they had sold copyrights to SCO, SCO filed a new lawsuit, SCO v. Novell, alleging slander of title, and later other claims.

SCO v. IBM is a civil lawsuit in the United States District Court of Utah.

In December 2006 the trial date was vacated pending the resolution of SCO's litigation with Novell, all parties agreeing that SCO v. Novell would resolve issues relating to SCO v. IBM.

On August 10, 2007, Judge Kimball, who also presides over the SCO v. Novell case, ruled that Novell, not the SCO Group, is the rightful owner of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system.

In 2003, the SCO Group alleged that ( among other infractions ) IBM had misappropriated licensed source code from UNIX System V Release 4 for incorporation into AIX ; SCO subsequently withdrew IBM's license to develop and distribute AIX.

The SCO Group, who argued they were the rightful owners of the copyrights covering the Unix operating system, attempted to revoke IBM's license to sell or distribute the AIX operating system.

In March, 2010 a jury returned a verdict finding that Novell, not the SCO Group, owns the rights to Unix.

MySQL works on many different system platforms, including AIX, BSDi, FreeBSD, HP-UX, eComStation, i5 / OS, IRIX, Linux, Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows, NetBSD, Novell NetWare, OpenBSD, OpenSolaris, OS / 2 Warp, QNX, Solaris, Symbian, SunOS, SCO OpenServer, SCO UnixWare, Sanos and Tru64.

Russia usually takes a leading role in regional organisations such as the CIS, EurAsEC, CSTO, and the SCO.

Its intent was to introduce workstations based on the MIPS architecture and able to run Windows NT and SCO UNIX.

Uzbekistan is also a member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization ( SCO ) and hosts the SCO ’ s Regional Anti-Terrorist Structure ( RATS ) in Tashkent.

The reissue includes commentary from Michael Tilson ( SCO ), Peter Salus, Dennis Ritchie, Ken Thompson, Peter Collinson, Greg Rose, Mike O ' Dell, Berny Goodheart and Peter Reintjes.

* Boies was retained by the SCO Group, during the SCO-Linux controversies, in their pursuit of alleged infringement of their rights to the Unix intellectual properties.

Microsoft did not sell Xenix directly to end users ; instead, they licensed it to software OEMs such as Intel, Tandy, Altos and SCO, who then ported it to their own proprietary computer architectures.

Altos shipped a version for their Intel 8086 based computers early in 1982, Tandy Corporation shipped TRS-XENIX for their 68000-based systems in January 1983, and SCO released their port to the IBM PC in September 1983.

In 1987, SCO ported Xenix to the 386 processor, a 32-bit chip.

In 1987 Microsoft transferred ownership of Xenix to SCO in an agreement that left Microsoft owning 25 % of SCO.

Microsoft continued to use Xenix internally, submitting a patch to support functionality in UNIX to AT & T in 1987, which trickled down to the code base of both Xenix and SCO UNIX.

SCO first released SCO UNIX as a higher-end product, based on System V Release 3 and offering a number of technical advances over Xenix ; Xenix remained in the product line.

One example of the current use of UUCP is in the retail industry by Epicor CRS Retail Systems for transferring batch files between corporate and store systems via TCP and dial-up on SCO OpenServer, Red Hat Linux, and Microsoft Windows ( with Cygwin ).

The founding members of United Linux were SUSE, Turbolinux, Conectiva ( now merged with MandrakeSoft to form Mandriva ) and Caldera International ( later renamed to The SCO Group ).

The distribution was based on SUSE Linux and the Linux Standard Base, with the plan being for SUSE to do most of the engineering work and SCO, Turbolinux and Conectiva primarily to market the distribution in their territories and markets.

The SCO Group asserted that there are legal uncertainties regarding the use of the Linux operating system due to alleged violations of IBM's Unix licenses in the development of Linux code at IBM.

SCO claimed that IBM had, without authorization, contributed SCO's intellectual property to the codebase of the open source, Unix-like Linux operating system.

In May 2003 SCO Group sent letters to members of the Fortune 1000 and Global 500 companies warning them of the possibility of liability if they use Linux.

The claims and counter-claims made by both sides then escalated, with both IBM and Linux distributor Red Hat starting legal action against SCO, SCO threatening Linux users who do not take out SCO UNIX licenses, and SCO suing Novell ( see also SCO-Linux controversies ), AutoZone and DaimlerChrysler.

On January 20, 2004, SCO filed a lawsuit, against Novell, the current owner of SuSE.

On March 6, 2003, the SCO Group ( formerly known as Caldera International and Caldera Systems ) filed a $ 1 billion lawsuit in the US against IBM for allegedly “ devaluing ” its version of the UNIX operating system.

In an " Order Granting in Part IBM's Motion to Limit SCO's Claims " dated June 28, 2006, Judge Brooke Wells ( the federal magistrate judge presiding over discovery aspects of the case ) barred SCO from asserting 187 of the 298 allegedly misused items that IBM had moved to exclude from the lawsuit for lack of specificity, stating “ many of SCO ’ s arguments and much of Mr. Rochkind ’ s declaration miss the mark ”, and comparing SCO's tactics with those of an officer who accuses a citizen of theft, but will not disclose what the citizen is accused of stealing.

RCU is also the topic of one claim in the SCO v. IBM lawsuit.

* SCO v. IBM Linux lawsuit: IBM furnishes more information on their SCO countersuit and states that they have Novell support.

* SCO v. IBM Linux lawsuit: Aduva, Inc., a Linux developing company, releases this week a tool to allow companies to replace any offending Linux code, if it exists, with code that does not infringe on SCO's intellectual property rights.
