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.
