iBCS ceased when I decided that "enough" vendors were targetting Linux as a Tier-1 platform and what was left was legacy proprietry stuff that either worked or would be painful to fix. iBCS then became linux-abi which ported to newer kernels and added UnixWare support. I guess there just isn't enough SYSV stuff left to keep any momentum behind linux-abi anymore either...
SCO stated a long time ago that they saw nothing in linux-abi to worry them.
Which is kind of interesting because iBCS started life pretty much as a way for Eric Youngdale to test his ELF loader code, which subsequently moved into the main kernel.
(iBCS CVS is still available on http://sf.net/projects/ibcs even if nothing else is. It doesn't go back quite to the start - I think my initial import was 1993...)
