Relying on Caldera?Relying on Caldera?Posted Nov 17, 2008 21:06 UTC (Mon) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625)Parent article: pcc seeks contributions to reach 1.0 milestone After Caldera became SCO, the company denied that it ever released "ancient Unix" for anything but "non-commercial use." Does anyone have a clear committment from Novell or any of the other Unix copyright holders to release this? Or are people relying on the 2002 letter from Bill Broderick?

Relying on Caldera? Posted Nov 18, 2008 0:50 UTC (Tue) by JoeBuck (subscriber, #2330) [Link] Oh, please. The press releases from Caldera announcing the source code release are on the record, and you can find them on the web. There was never any restriction on commercial use.Here's a copy of the announcement, which for some odd reason you'll no longer find on SCO's site. Given subsequent events, perhaps SCO can argue that their predecessor company had no right to do this, because Novell, not they, own Unix. But to say so would undercut their own argument in their legal troubles with Novell.
