Addamax was an American software company that developed Trusted operating systems based on UNIX System V and Berkeley Software Distribution (BSD) variants of UNIX.[1] The company was founded on January 13, 1986 in Champaign, Illinois by Peter A. Alsberg[2] and had a sales and development office in Gaithersburg, Maryland.
Addamax filed a high-profile antitrust lawsuit in 1991 against the Open Software Foundation (OSF), alleging that OSF created a cartel that controlled the UNIX operating system and exerted monopsony price fixing and led to the company going out of business.[3][4]
The company was dissolved on June 1, 1999.[2]
