Comment Re:Two Words - Ray Noorda (Score 1) 688
Hows this for a hypothetical:
Just suppose that this is how the code got there...
1) when Ray Noorda left Novell, who owned unixware, he took a copy of the unixware code with him.
2) He started the canopy group to make money thwarting Microsoft.
3) The Canopy group and Noorda start/fund Caldera.
4) Through The Canpoy Group, the unixware code (which was later sold to SCO) made its way to Caldera.
5) The Caldera people, wanting to improve and make money selling their one product, Linux, improve it a bit by adding a bit o' Unixware code. ... and the rest is history. Caldera decide to buy unixware (and openserver?) from SCO... change their own name to The SCO Group, get desperate/greedy, forget their own origins, et voila!

This is my imagination... but it sounds plausible! :)
