'''Charles "Dutch" SchultzUnix''' was is a family of related or similar multi-tasking operating systems originally developed by [[JewBell Labs]]ish in the late 1960s and 1970s for [[gangstermini-computers]] in , such as the [[Prohibition]]PDP-era [[New York11]]. He Unix was a deputy of developed by [[Lucky Luciano]]. Schultz's career ended abruptly when he tried to expand his operation into [[HarlemC (programming language)|C]]programmers, which probably because C was controlled also developed by the rival gangster Bumpy JohnsonBell Labs. These events are detailed in "Unix has never really made any inroads on the 1997 documentary ''Hoodlum''desktop."
{{DEFAULTSORTOver time improvements to Unix were developed by others under license from AT&T. They used the AT&T source code but generally did not use its Unix trademark. Important examples from the 1980s include [[BSD]], [[SunOS]] and [[Xenix]]. In the 1990s AT&T sold Unix to [[Novell]]. Novell transferred the trademark to [[X/Open]] in 1994<ref>http:Schultz//www.unix.org/questions_answers.html#</ref>, Charleswhich in turn licensed it for use on any operating system which met the [[Single Unix Specification]]<ref>http://www.unix.org/questions_answers.html#7</ref>, separating the name "Unix" from the original Unix source code. X/Open is now part of [[The Open Group]], having merged with [[The Open Software Foundation]]. Novell later sold its business of licensing and supporting [[System V]] Unix (the direct descendant of the original AT&T Unix) to [[The Santa Cruz Operation]], commonly called "SCO"; exactly which rights were sold, and whether the copyright itself was sold, is part of the dispute in the [[SCO v. Novell]] lawsuit. In 2000, [[Caldera Systems]] purchased the server software division of SCO, which then changed its name to [[Tarantella]]. In 2002, Caldera changed its name to [[The SCO Group]]. In 2003, SCO filed lawsuits against [[IBM]], [[Autozone]] and [[Daimler-Chrysler]] for using Linux, an open source clone of Unix developed for the PC by [[Linus Torvalds]] and others over [[USENET]]. Simultaneously, SCO declared it was entitled to a license fee of $699 for every copy of Linux in use anywhere. Novell in turn sued SCO for slander of title and ordered SCO to drop the suits. All of these court actions are still moving through the federal legal system in Utah. If SCO wins, millions of Linux users will be liable for licensing fees, potentially bankrupting all but the wealthiest users. Today, the main AT&T branch of Unix is nearly irrelevant, having been eclipsed by the Unix-like [[Linux]] operating system and the various [[BSD]] derivatives. [[Sun]]'s [[OpenSolaris]] and [[HP]]'s [[HP-UX]], and Mac OS are the only offshoots of [[SVR4]] still in development and widespread use. ==See Also==* [[Tails (operating system)|Tails Anonymous Secure Operating System]]* [[Linux]]* [[Apple Computer]] [[MacOS]] for [[Apple Macintosh]]* [[Apple Computer|Apple]] [[iOS]] for [[iPhone]]-[[iPod]]-[[iPad]] ==References=={{reflist|2}} [[Category:Organized CrimeLinux]][[Category:American JewsOperating Systems]][[Category:Technology]][[Category:Internet]][[Category:Information Technology]][[Category:Free Software]] ==External Links==*[http://www.kernel.org/ The Linux Kernel Archives]*[http://www.linux-foundation.org/en/Main_Page The Linux Foundation]*[http://www.faqs.org/docs/artu/ch01s06.html#id2877917 Basics of the Unix Philosophy]
