SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld)SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld)Posted Nov 18, 2003 19:42 UTC (Tue) by stanmuffin (guest, #16955)In reply to: SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) by sandy_pond Parent article: SCO CEO: Novell-SuSE breaks SCO contract (InfoWorld) Which software? The point is, Novell sold UNIX SVRx and UnixWare to old-SCO (the Santa Cruz Operation) in 1995, and as a term of the deal, agreed not to use the same technologies sold to old-SCO to compete against old-SCO. Even if we assume that The SCO Group inherited the non-compete agreement from the Santa Cruz Operation, The SCO Group is lying when they say that the agreement prevents Novell from competing with them in the Unix-on-Intel business. The agreement only refers to the technologies that Novell sold to old-SCO in 1995. And Novell did not sell SuSE Linux to old-SCO in 1995.
