QS - Some have commented that this is the second time Ray Noorda has purchased UnixWare - seems like he didn't learn the first time. They also get all the open sewer customers... such a deal.

Dear QS: After reading that post I was forced to click on your profile to see just what you do for a living. Alas, NOTHING!! (gg) I would suggest that you would make an excellent comedy writer. I thought your post was not only funny, but perfectly visually clear. JDN

Totally agree.. What a joke ! And people believe it, that's what is so funny... ! Just like all the "investors" that rode VA LInux & Red HAT, and Corel, that shop of managment excellence in the Linux craze, to unfathomable heights (which came crashing down later) Funny ! Jean

Hold up. This would mean that Caldera would own "UNIX", but Linux isn't technically Unix, but a work alike. --- The story there though (IMO), apart from the financial woes of CALD and SCOC is the way a 'Linux company' is skirting 'open source' by avoiding IP ownership of the proprietary software; being able to throw up their hands and point to a SCO (or a holding company) and say to the open source interest - "Hey, we just sell it and support it. We don't actually 'own' it (IP) - It's not ours to GPL". The 'Linux' business model would begin to start looking familiar at this point. -JCJ
