You missed "The GCC team has been urged to drop support for SCO Unix from GCC, as a protest against SCO's irresponsible aggression against free software".
When starting my Unix learnings with SCO Xenix/286, SCO Xenix/386 and SCO Unix (all some kind of trademarks), I have always wondered what on earth this really meaned. Did it mean that the support for SCO Unix, the '3.2.[2-4]' was dropped but the support for SCO OpenServer5 and SCO UnixWare were continued or what? Can it be so hard to ask someone who knows something about the SCO products to write some sane clauses to the FSF documents ? Maybe "SCO Unix" means something else for Haren and some FSF people but my thought is that the majority understands it to mean the SCO's SVR3.2 release from the late 80's and early 90's... Ok, the heir for SCO Unix is the OSR5 but the UnixWare got from Univel/Novell has always been called as "UnixWare" so "SCO Unix" cannot be called so... If the "SCO Unix" means all the SVR4 and SVR5 based Unices, then also AIX, Solaris2, HP-UX, Irix and others were dropped from all support....
