“Company Releases SAR Source Code with Aim Toward Open
Standard.”
“SCO will license its System Activity Reporter (SAR) source code
to the open source community in cooperation with Starnix, Inc., the
first maintainers of the code. SAR is currently used to retrieve
data for administering the UnixWare 7 System V Release 5 (SVR5)
kernel. With SAR’s release to the open source community, SCO
believes the code will help standardize kernel administration
across operating systems.”
“The open source model is very positive for the entire software
industry,” said Doug Michels, president and CEO of SCO. “The
concept of many individuals working without commercial intent has
played a large role in the innovation and success of UNIX and open
systems. We appreciate this opportunity to support the open source
community and are releasing SAR to help solve system analysis
problems across multiple platforms.”
