Archived 6 November 2003 IEEE and The Open Group to Extend POSIX® Certification
to the Latest POSIX® Standard
The Open Group and The Institute of Electrical
and Electronics Engineers Standards Association (IEEE-SA) will offer
a program to certify products to the 2003 edition of IEEE 1003.1™2001. Under
the new program, suppliers will substantiate claims of conformance
to POSIX based on defined test suites so buyers gain assurance that
products they specify and procure meet the standard and are warranted
by the vendor to do so.
Archived 6 November 2003 Who owns UNIX® ?
You may have seen recent press articles
announcing that SCO is the owner of UNIX or has licensed
UNIX to Microsoft. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading
and cause considerable confusion. The Open Group has owned
the registered trademark UNIX since 1994. Here is
what we said in response to a Linux Weekly News article.
Also available is a backgrounder that
explains the history and reasons why The Open Group takes
action on trademark misuse.
