Unix International Inc, which found its million-dollar seat on X/Open Co Ltd’s board of directors as burdensome as did the Open Software Foundation, and been threatening to follow the Foundation out of the standards club, has now found accommodation in X/Open’s new cheaper technical membership classification. Unix International will continue to participate in X/Open’s Online Transaction Processing and System Management Development Group through 1993. Unix System Laboratories Inc, which has never officially been part of X/Open though it’s had a lot of informal dealings with it, is also expected to take advantage of the new technical membership and sign up.
