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. They also purchased [Xenix] from MicrosoftCorporation.
-The current SCO Group is not very profitable and has given up on its Linux distribution. Apparently it also thinks it can make money by asking people to pay them licensing fees for vague reasons, and suing [IBM] for reasons that require some lateral interpretation of old legal documents. Enough said.
