'''UnixWare''' is a [[Unix]] [[operating system]]. It was originally released by [[Univel]], a jointly owned venture of [[AT&T Corporation|AT&T]]'s [[Unix System Laboratories]] (USL) and [[Novell]]. It was then taken over by Novell.  Via [[Santa Cruz Operation]] (SCO), it went on to [[Caldera Systems]], [[Caldera International]], and [[The SCO Group]] before it was sold to [[UnXis]] (now [[Xinuos]]). After the acquisition of SCO by Caldera, the name was briefly changed to '''Open UNIX''' before being reverted to the original name in the next release.<ref name="jdk-113-rn">{{cite web |url=http://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/other/java_131_13/ReleaseNotes.html |title=Release Notes: Java 2, Standard Edition, v. 1.3.1_13 for SCO UNIX Operating Systems |publisher=Xinuos |date=June 15, 2004 |access-date=2021-10-11  |archive-date=2022-03-21  |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220321210148/http://ftp.sco.com/pub/unixware7/714/other/java_131_13/ReleaseNotes.html |url-status=dead }}</ref>  UnixWare is typically deployed as a [[Server (computing)|server]] rather than a [[Desktop computer|desktop]].
