GCC and the SCO Unixware UDK

Link: GCC (not) dropping SCO support in next release

There was some gleeful cheering from the resident SCO haters when they read that SCO was apparently being dropped from GCC. Well, not quite. As J. L. Schilling explained, SCO themselves is dropping the Universal Development Kit, because the next version of Openserver will have a Unixware kernel. No need for the UDK after that, so no need for GCC to support it.

It isn't smart or helpful to spread FUD. We're all ticked off at SCO, but spreading falsehoods isn't going to do anything useful and it can backfire. Linux needs to stick to the moral high ground.

Many of the products and books I review are things I purchased for my own use. Some were given to me specifically for the purpose of reviewing them. I resell or can earn commissions from the sale of some of these items. Links within these pages may be affiliate links that pay me for referring you to them. That's mostly insignificant amounts of money; whenever it is not I have made my relationship plain. I also may own stock in companies mentioned here. If you have any question, please do feel free to contact me.

Specific links that take you to pages that allow you to purchase the item I reviewed are very likely to pay me a commission. Many of the books I review were given to me by the publishers specifically for the purpose of writing a review. These gifts and referral fees do not affect my opinions; I often give bad reviews anyway.
