@BrideOfLinux @jackwilliambell Some prehistory: first there was a Linux distro called Caldera that Ray Noorda (of Novell) funded. Caldera hit the buffers around 1997, but first they'd bought the remains of Digital Research, of CP/M and DR-DOS fame, and their lawsuit against Microsoft continued. In the end MSFT settled for $500M … and McBride went in search of more litigation zombies to buy. SCO was in big trouble and was parted out for bits: McBride picked up the trademarks and idiotic lawsuit.
