What SCO Wants, SCO Gets (Forbes)What SCO Wants, SCO Gets (Forbes)Posted Jun 18, 2003 18:59 UTC (Wed) by mmarq (guest, #2332)Parent article: What SCO Wants, SCO Gets (Forbes)
Lets get serious: If SCO last year made 65 million, and now is asking for 3 billion, and even considering some eventual reason, that SCO could in "THE TOP OF THE TOP OF DREAMS" double that annual amount, it would take SCO 23 years to collect from sales what they are asking from penalties.... The worst that could happen is for IBM to buy this "poison pill" SCO.

What SCO Wants, SCO Gets (Forbes) Posted Jun 18, 2003 23:35 UTC (Wed) by vmlinuz (guest, #24) [Link] 23 years ago there wosent a SCO,...Hate to tell you, but SCO was founded in 1979. Of course, that SCO bears very little relation to the company which currently bears that name, since the original SCO was an engineering company, not a careening lawyer-chariot heading for a fall. Oh, and the company under discussion here used to be a Linux company called Caldera, not a UNIX company...
Re: SCO was founded in 1979 Posted Jun 19, 2003 3:57 UTC (Thu) by kmself (subscriber, #11565) [Link] That "SCO" is now Tarentella, still operating out of Santa Cruz, CA. Caldera/SCO, newly yclept "The SCO Group", is the successor organization to Caldera International, founded 1994. What SCO/Caldera bought was "the Unix business" of what's now Tarentella, as well as, apparently, the name. Otherwise, the company suing IBM has nothing to do with the SCO founded in 1979.
