Q: What is SVR6?
A: SVR6 is the code name for the next-generation operating platform designed to
take advantage of Web services and is the foundation of our SCOx strategy. As
the owners of the UNIX operating system, it is incumbent upon SCO to advance
the UNIX kernel for both 32-bit and 64-bit architectures. This will be
accomplished through the support of key industry partners who will also
contribute to this next-generation platform. SVR6 will be formally announced at
our upcoming SCO Forum event to be held in Las Vegas, Nevada on August 17-19 at
the MGM Grand Hotel.

It just keeps getting weirder:

Well, if SCO is claiming intellecutal property rights to Linux, why
are they intimating that they will sue Linus?

This is becoming an alternate reality.

I think that that was a slip of the tongue. At any rate, I don't
think they have any intention of suing Linus. Maybe it's part of a
FUD campaign.

Not sure if you guys noticed that, but they pulled Caldera Linux off of
their FTP site.

I seriously wonder if there are any normal people with a sane mind there
at SCO.

I mean, it is so different from their previous antics in which they even
allowed the old source code of the Unixes without any problems.

Definitely. They made a statement about it with the claim that they
can't justify distributing it. My take is that they weren't making
any money with it.

I'm sure most are. But they don't want to get fired.

Indeed. I have an ongoing analysis page at
http://www.lemis.com/grog/sco.html which addresses most of these
issues.
