I bought Caldera years ago ('96/97?) so I could get a copy of WordPerfect.
I forgot how badly I disliked WordPerfect and used it exactly twice.
Caldera and WordPerfect that is.

Getting more topical, I noticed that while there were lines FROM Linux
to SCO products, I didn't notice many lines going TO Linux. And many
of the lines actually come from BSD (probably bits of the TCP layer
and some SCSI drivers).  Based on how they're drawing this, SCO could
claim they own BSD.
