A Rose by Any Other Name--Is It Still the Same? (Linux Journal)

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."

See also this 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."
