You are SO wrong about Caldera being behind this.
All of your experience in this realm is from the "old" SCO side. I worked for both Caldera
and post-acquisition SCO. I can tell you with absolutely, positively NO hesitation that the
company that calls itself SCO today is *NOT* Caldera. NONE of the current management is
from Caldera except for the CFO. NONE of the employees that are there today were there
back when I started with Caldera. NONE of SCO's business model even remotely resembles
Caldera's.
If anything, bringing SCO into the mix is what corrupted the whole pro-Linux business
model that Caldera had. Before the "acquisition", Caldera was a Linux company. With the
new management (a mix of imported execs like Darl McBride as well as SCO folks and a CFO
that somehow survived from the late Caldera years) the whole business model seems to
have changed.
So, stop blaming Caldera. Caldera went away when SCO folks were brought in.
