U-Xinuos useqale izinyathelo zomthetho ngokumelene ne-IBM ne-Red Hat. U-Xinuos usola ukuthi i-IBM ikopishe ngokungekho emthethweni ikhodi ye-Xinuos yezinhlelo zayo zokusebenza zeseva futhi yakha uzungu ne-Red Hat ukwabelana ngemakethe ngokungemthetho. Ngokusho kuka-Xinuos, inhlanganisela ye-IBM-Red Hat ilimaze umphakathi wemithombo evulekile, abathengi kanye nezimbangi, futhi yaba nesandla ekuvinjweni kokuqamba okusha. Phakathi kokunye, izenzo ze-IBM kanye ne-Red Hat zokuhlukanisa imakethe, ukuhlinzeka ngokuthandwa okufanayo nokukhuthaza imikhiqizo yomunye nomunye kuthinte kabi ukusatshalaliswa komkhiqizo othuthukiswa e-Xinuos ovela ku-OpenServer 10, eqhudelana neRed Hat Enterprise Linux.
Inkampani yakwa-Xinuos (UnXis) yathenga ibhizinisi ku-SCO Group eyonakele ngo-2011 futhi yaqhubeka nokuthuthukisa uhlelo lokusebenza lwe-OpenServer. I-OpenServer ilandela i-SCO UNIX ne-UnixWare, kodwa kusukela kwakhululwa i-OpenServer 10, uhlelo lokusebenza lusekelwe ku-FreeBSD.
Ukuqulwa kwecala kwenzeka ngezindlela ezimbili: ukwephulwa komthetho we-antimonopoly kanye nokwephulwa kwempahla yengqondo. Ingxenye yokuqala ikhuluma ngokuthi, ngemva kokuthola ukubusa emakethe yezinhlelo zokusebenza zeseva ezisekelwe ku-Unix/Linux, i-IBM ne-Red Hat zithathe indawo yezinhlelo ezincintisanayo ezifana ne-OpenServer esekelwe ku-FreeBSD. U-Xinuos uthi ukukhohliswa kwemakethe ngenxa ye-IBM-Red Hat yaqala kudala ngaphambi kokuthenga kwe-IBM i-Red Hat, emuva lapho i-UnixWare 7 ne-OpenServer 5 zinesabelo esibalulekile semakethe. Ukumuncwa kwesigqoko esibomvu yi-IBM kuhunyushwa njengomzamo wokuqinisa uzungu nokwenza uhlelo olusetshenzisiwe lube unomphela.
Ingxenye yesibili, mayelana nempahla yengqondo, iwukuqhutshekwa kwecala elidala phakathi kwe-SCO ne-IBM, elake laqeda izinsiza ze-SCO futhi kwaholela ekuqotheni kwale nkampani. Icala lisola ukuthi i-IBM yasebenzisa ngokungemthetho impahla yengqondo ye-Xinuos ukuze idale futhi idayise umkhiqizo oqhudelana ne-UnixWare ne-OpenServer, futhi yakhohlisa abatshalizimali mayelana namalungelo ayo okusebenzisa ikhodi ye-Xinuos. Phakathi kokunye, kusolwa ukuthi umbiko ka-2008 owethulwe kwikhomishana yezibambiso wakumelela kabi ukuthi amalungelo obunikazi be-UNIX kanye ne-UnixWare angaweqembu lesithathu, elihoxisa noma yiziphi izimangalo ezibhekiswe ku-IBM ezihlobene nokuphulwa kwamalungelo ayo.
Ngokusho kwabamele i-IBM, lezi zinsolo azinasisekelo futhi zivuselela izingxabano ezindala ze-SCO, impahla yayo yobuhlakani egcine iphethwe uXinuos ngemuva kokuqothuka. Izinsolo zokwephula imithetho yokungathembeki zingqubuzana nomqondo wokuthuthukiswa kwesofthiwe yomthombo ovulekile. I-IBM kanye ne-Red Hat izovikela ngokugcwele ngangokunokwenzeka ubuqotho benqubo yokuthuthukisa yokusebenzelana yomthombo ovulekile, ukukhetha nokuncintisana okukhuthaza ukuthuthukiswa komthombo ovulekile.
Masikhumbule ukuthi ngo-2003, i-SCO yasola i-IBM ngokudlulisela ikhodi ye-Unix kubathuthukisi be-Linux kernel, okwathi ngemva kwalokho kwatholakala ukuthi wonke amalungelo ekhodi ye-Unix kwakungewona awe-SCO, kodwa ekaNovell. U-Novell wabe esefaka i-SCO icala, eyisola ngokusebenzisa ubuhlakani bomunye umuntu ukumangalela ezinye izinkampani. Ngakho-ke, ukuze uqhubeke nokuhlasela abasebenzisi be-IBM ne-Linux, i-SCO yayibhekene nesidingo sokufakazela amalungelo ayo ku-Unix. I-SCO ayizange ivumelane nombono ka-Novell, kodwa ngemva kweminyaka eminingi yokuqulwa kwecala kabusha, inkantolo yanquma ukuthi ngenkathi i-Novell ithengisa ibhizinisi layo le-Unix yokusebenza kwe-SCO, i-Novell ayizange idlulisele ubunikazi bempahla yakhe yengqondo ku-SCO, nawo wonke amacala alethwa Abameli be-SCO ngokumelene nezinye izinkampani, abanasisekelo.
