Does anyone really use SCO Unix, now? I tried it umpteen years ago for a CAD workstation and it was a real monster.Why is it called tourist season, if we can't shoot at them?

Caldera bought SCO, then renamed themselves to SCO after a while, IIRC.

Then this starts to look crazy. Caldera Linux is hopeless, compared with RH and SuSE (and possibly others). If they try to eliminate the competition on an Open Source engine, then they will shoot themselves in the foot, as development could cease. That is unless Caldera/SCO is being financed by MS.Brian (the devil incarnate)

SCO bought the rights to Unix from Novell who in turn bought them from AT&T. One of the grey areas is how much Novell sold to SCO, Novell state that they kept hold of some of the patents and copyrights. Guess we'll all find out if/when this court case comes to a conclussion.When you own your own business you only have to work half a day. You can do anything you want with the other twelve hours.

BTW, Microsoft bought a license from SCO, too. And they say that they're sure linux also uses some ms code.
