That's probably an interpretation of this:
biz.yahoo.com

"SCO..announced its support of Intel Corporation's [Nasdaq:INTC - news] adoption of the Uniform Driver Interface (UDI) as a standard device interface. In addition, Intel will work with SCO and Project UDI, to port UDI to the Linux operating system and distribute as freeware."

"UDI allows device drivers to be portable across both hardware platforms and operating systems without any changes to the driver source. This significantly lowers the cost of driver development, speeds time-to-market of new devices, and allows manufacturers to allocate development resource on improving device performance, features and functionality."

Sun supports UDI, too -- after all, anything that helps standardize and popularize Unix is probably good news for both SUNW and SCOC.

There have been smatterings of support for SCO on Merced as a standard, but not, I think, anything "real" yet. See
sco.com
