I do not remember exactly when it was, but it was before Novell bought
them.  I just looked it up - it was Ximian.  After Novell bought them, they
dropped their Unix attempt - "UnixWare" - after Linux started gaining a lot
of traction.  Then they tried "GroupWare" in Linux - big fail.  I am sure
glad I no longer work there where the owner was hell beant on running
anything from Novell since the NetWare days.
