A Rose by Any Other Name--Is It Still the Same? (Linux Journal)
[Posted August 28, 2002 by corbet]
The Linux Journal
reports (from
GeoFORUM) on the Caldera name change.
"
Now for the the simple financial facts. Say your company has no debt to speak
of.
You have a distribution channel of 14,000 SCO dealers. These dealers are on
target to sell $60 million (US) for the year 2002. SCO products generate
positive cash flow,
while Linux products cost $2.00 of marketing for every $1.00 of sales.
Maybe these facts are enough collectively to make you rethink your business
plan."

followup article on where Caldera/SCO is going from here. "Well,
if you are Darl McBride, the new CEO of The SCO Group, you use
Harley-Davidson as a model."
