hmmm... belive it dosen't change anything!
Better,... belive that with an agreement like that with Novell, they didn't had to pay royalties for OpenServer either.
Bottom line... they had to sell right and good, their Unix products, and not resort to licencing as a mean of income. It was clear thought that OpenServer had a very short but fauthfull list of good costumers as had Unixware,(who had more is irrelevant) their business was declining slowly.
They were not only unable to make a dent in the Solaris, AIX or HP-UX, as they were more positioned in the low end of the market, but they were also unable to grow it, and i belive, the original SCO was convinced they could.
