“Santa Cruz Operation added the ability to run Linux programs to
its UnixWare operating system, declaring that the upstart operating
system has helped UnixWare more than it has harmed it.”

“While Microsoft executives say Linux competes chiefly with Unix
systems such as SCO’s instead of Windows NT, SCO believes the
opposite.”

“Linux has got the word out that Unix on Intel is a viable
alternative to Microsoft.”

“It has given a fresh, revitalized look to what people could do
in the Intel space. Linux is a Unix movement. Revenues are going up
strongly”

“SCO has made the Linux compatibility software source code–the
original programming instructions–publicly available, he said,
giving the code back to the open source programming community that
has developed Linux.”
