OT: SCO Group Files Chapter 11

[David Munson]

The following should not be used in a court of law, but it is fact as
far as I am able to determine.

If by SCO you mean The SCO Group (Darl & Co), then yes. Here's why:

Santa Cruz Operations (Old SCO) sold pretty much everything to Caldera
in 2001, and Old SCO became Tarantella, Inc, since that was all they
did now. Bye-bye Old SCO.

Caldera changed their name to The SCO Group as a result of this
purchase. Anything owned by Caldera therefore is now property of The
SCO Group (New SCO, same company, new name).

There were multiple developers of S5 platforms/products, Old SCO was
one of them. Old SCO probably developed it, so in all likelyhood it
went to Caldera, and thus New SCO.
