An [Acronym] for Santa Cruz Operation
-Originally a company that made a version of [Unix] for [x86] ([Intel])-based machines called !UnixWare. Their expensive software never became very popular, and the company (or only code?) changed hands a few times, becoming owned by (or known as) Caldera (which made a distribution of [Linux]) and eventually being turned into the current SCO Group.

The current SCO Group is not very profitable and has given up on its Linux distribution.
