Oh yes it does! When your company president uses it as the company Slogan of the Year, and means it seriously. (I think the "go to 11" part meant that we had to work to 11pm.)
But did AT&T purchase those enhancements off of the Xenix group?
Dunno. When I said "I believe", I should have said "I vaguely recall".:^) The details of contracts and licences that have been punted around from company to company over decades are something that I can only speculate on.
Sorry to follow up my own post, but a thought particle just hit me.
There's no archives of the history of Unixware outside of SCO's control. Maybe, and maybe not. Sometimes when you're dealing with a big ticket customer, they insist on source in case you go belly-up. The compromise is to put a source archive in escrow with a third party. (Bank, whatever.) I wonder if there are any of those out there? (And I wonder if SCO thought of this first, and took steps?)
I can't imagine that the Unix source code license requires IBM or Sequent to give back their enhancements to the code!
Could be. I believe the original AT&T licences did require that changes be shared back. (Originally a force for good, now sort of a dark twisted version of how open source works. Saruman, if you will.) In fact, SCO's own XENIX capabilities were merged by AT&T into UNIX V.3.2.
It's really nasty that SCO's Unixware development has been taking place in the dark. Who knows what they've fiddled or diddled to change history (or rather *the* change history)? There's no archives of the history of Unixware outside of SCO's control. (Some things can be infered from the binaries, but...) Ugly and uglierer.
When we got the big 10M SCSI drive for the development Apple II with Z80 & CP/M, I think it was 180k or so. The fun part was that you could only mount two of the partitions at a time, which took a bit of juggling in the build batch files. Whee!:^)
Gee, if willful destruction of property is against the law, then it would be okay to counter-nuke anyone who tried to do it to me, right?
I don't use p2p and certainly don't pirate, but stuff like this makes me want to go out and suck down as much as I can. (Especially to replace a bunch of CDs that were stolen a few years ago. If only I'd had backups.)

Not if you have explicit permission. So make sure it's really explicit.

It does? Where do the keycodes from the keyboard get turned into a hardware interrupt?
Now that's a plan! Locate and buy the 1st edition cheep, and by the time I'm finished wading through it, the 3rd edition will be out. Excellent!

Let the Wookie win.
Managers. Lots and lots of managers. (Perhaps I'm being funny here, but it's true at the same time.)

One SCO to rule them all?
Gosh, I did not know that. Amazing. Always wondered what that command stood for. :^P
How about Clippy? "I see you're looking for your work files. You're fscked."

On "site"? Good one if deliberate, good even if not.
I still say he's a member of the Know Nothing party. It matches his 18th century viewpoint.
Does this mean that you won't give him an extra whack for me? *poot*! :^P
"I know nothing!"
It's actually "batten down the hatch", but if you want to use a baton, wayhey, go wild and give him one for me too!

And how is Frank these days?
Why don't they save time and just use that anti-terrorist ass-scanner from a couple days ago?
Not quite, they used a "double" for the other shots.
I'm sorry, technical difficulties prevented the translation in Cavemanese. That was, in fact, the English version.
Maybe. Did anyone patent RCU? SCO could win only to be creamed by a patent suit.
Kidneys, hell! I hope it's more like this guy.
Not my day for brainfarts.
