It's not clear to me that the license terms for SCO OpenServer or
UnixWare will permit one to use it as a database server in a
production environment.  See "Conditions Of Use" at

  http://wdb1.sco.com/clbk_web/owa/freeunix_reg_start_lic_uw

That first clause could be read in at least two ways, and I would want
to be sure what was meant before putting one of the free SCO products
into production.

If anyone knows for sure whether or not SCO may be employed in this
fashion, please send me the answer.
