I read the article in Internetweek emagazine.  

Here is teh gist of it and link

Microsoft Licenses Unix IP From SCO

It's the latest major twist in the intellectual property drama

swirling around SCO: Microsoft said it licensed SCO's Unix patents and

source code as a gesture to support the intellectual property rights

of all vendors and to ensure compatibility between Windows and

Unix/Linux operating systems.

There has appeared a news article stating that MS signed a licensing agreement with SCO for their unix. Does this mean that SQL Server will be offered on the SCO OS in the future?  

Your comments please.  

Thanks,
