SCO now shipping MySQL network with OpenServer

Unix vendor SCO Group Inc has begun shipping MySQL AB's Network
database update service with its OpenServer 6 Unix operating system,
following up on an agreement struck between the two companies in
September 2005.
Lindon, Utah-based SCO's OpenServer 6 operating system was launched in
June of last year and included version 4.1 of the open source MySQL
database. A trial version of the MySQL Network service, which includes
production support, certified software, updates, technical advice, and
access to the MySQL Knowledge Base is now also included.
Following the joint development agreement, SCO will also include
version 5.0 of Uppsala, Sweden-based MySQL's database from mid-to-late
February, while four different levels of subscription to MySQL Network
are also available.
The development agreement between SCO and MySQL proved a controversial
one considering SCO's ongoing litigation against IBM Corp and Novell
Inc and previous claims that the GNU General Public License "violates
the US constitution".
MySQL's CEO, Marten Mickos, defended the company's actions, however,
stating that it wanted to serve customers irrespective of their
platform, and open a dialog with SCO to create better understanding
within the Unix vendor of the open source movement.
