Those only came to be after AT&T lawsuit was cleared, and by then Linux already had enough wind behind it.

Also SCO lawsuit was more due to IBM's money than Linux.

Both a different situation than Windows NT being available a decade earlier.

You’re sidestepping my point that FreeBSD was in widespread use in the 90s.

My point about SCO wasn’t clear though. I was just saying FreeBSD wasn’t as embroiled in the UNIX wars as the others, ie referencing SCO vs Linux to demonstrate how even Linux suffered more time in the courts than FreeBSD did.
