It seemed to me that Caldera had a lot of difficulty finding a way to
distinguish itself from Red Hat.  The earliest Caldera Linux releases
were basically just a rebranded Red Hat sprinkled with a handful of
proprietary ingredients.

Unfortunately after they bought some of the original SCO, the existing
SCO customer base proved too tempting.  Caldera was seduced to
the Dark Side, and abandoned the FLOSS community.

I'm not sure their corporate culture ever really understood the FLOSS way.
