UnixWare 7.1.4, announced Tuesday, includes the MySQL database, SCO executives said.
SCO already includes Samba, another prominent GPL-covered package, with its Unix products. The attacks on the GPL have been leveled in SCO's lawsuit accusing IBM of violating its Unix contract with SCO by moving proprietary Unix technology to open-source Linux.
Although MySQL sells a version of MySQL under a proprietary license, SCO is including the open-source version, spokesman Blake Stowell said Wednesday.

I think they have it dead right myself. I don't see how SCO can justify using and profiting from software they're currently claiming has an illegal license and is out to destroy the software industry. Pfft.

SCO are two-faced scoundrels.
With one face they tell US Congress that the GPL is bad for US software companies, yet with the other face, they are trying to sell you a product which is mostly constituted by GPL code.
Who in their right mind would believe these guys on anything?
