Another short answer, Caldera succeeded the Santa Clara Operation by
buying the trademark "SCO" and some Unix rights from what promptly
renamed itself Tarentella and promptly exited this story. SCOX started
its plunge into infamy (and recently, delisting from NASDAQ so its
trading symbol is now SCOXE) by filing suit against IBM. Not even IBM
purports to know on what grounds. The judge is making pointed comments
.
Bob tells the long, sordid story better than I want to attempt.
www,groklaw.net, of course, has it all.

Can't speak to the propriety of your Cali references, never been there
much.
