“Caldera’s acquisition of the operating system and services part
of SCO could lead to a unified development model for Linux and
other Unixes.”
“Andy Butler, of analyst firm Gartner, said, “This is a big step
toward unifying Linux and Unix. The difference is that now they are
both are in the same company.”
“The deal could eventually result in a common layer that
would let applications written for UnixWare run on Linux and on
Monterey, the unified Unix project that SCO has been working on
with IBM.“
