Good coverage, except...

SCOX (neé Caldera) have *never* been profitable year-on-year, except for the period covering the disputed 25M. The judge has already ruled that an amount of that 25M (which could, according to the contracts with Novell, be up to 95%, plus, of course, damages) belongs to Novell, and has been subject to "conversion", which basically amounts to keeping as yours something which belongs to somebody else. If you or I did this, it would be known as "theft".

Whatever happens, SCOX will be obliged to revisit their 10K and 10Q filings, probbably back as far as 2003/4, and at that point, the truth will be out - they have *never* made money.

The one sad thing that came from this is not really the "loss" of unixware or openserver, two technologically geriatric systems, but rather the loss of Caldera Linux, it's merger with "actual Unix" and the use of the existing SCO Unix sales channel to forward this product, which then-CEO Ransome Love wanted to carry out - this was the original stated purpose of Caldera buying the rights from SCO (now Tarantella, and merged into SUN).
