365438 | Caldera International sought to shape SCO's UnixWare product (renamed Open UNIX) to present a unified view of Unix and Linux that could satisfy high-end business needs and take advantage of SCO's large reseller channel.

Caldera International was part of the United Linux effort of Linux companies seeking to form a common distribution that could compete with Red Hat.
