I thought the name sounded familiar. And as Nix says, they're the company that bought the corpse of SCO Group, which is why I remember it.

Cheers,

According to the Wikipedia article, they are a company that was spun off by the newer SCO (around 2010) to focus on the UNIX business, and leave the law suits to the parent company (The SCO Group, and later TSG Group). At some point that parent group went completely bankrupt (chapter 7) and its sole asset was the legal claim.

Also, according to the Wikipedia article, their FreeBSD OpenServer is based on FreeBSD 10, and their last releases were in 2018.

I'd heard of them before. They had 1-2 people at a FreeBSD conference I attended 3-5 years ago. They didn't present anything, just made some dumb "I have a question; my *comment is* ..."-type grandstanding remarks during Q&A sections.
