SCO Joins Free Standards Group

By nedu, Section Diary
Posted on Sat Feb 10th, 2007 at 12:38:34 EST

Via Google Groups, May 10, 2000 Santa Cruz Operation (“SCO”) press release: “SCO Joins Free Standards Group”

Also see copy of press release from Sun.

And compare with May 8, 2000 press release from the Free Standards Group, which contains a comment from a Santa Cruz Operation executive:

- Mike Orr, president of the Tarantella Division at SCO
"The Free Standards Group is one of the key pieces to the success of Linux and Open Source. Clear-cut standards will be the basis to get even broader support from ISVs as well as customers for the Linux platform. The combination of well-defined standards and choice of vendors gives an obvious signal against any monopolistic tendencies in the software industry."
