Google SCO and it's at the top of the list (not Scottish Chamber Orchestra). It stands for Santa Cruz Operation. They have their own rival version(s?) of UNIX which was around before Linux was a nibble in Linus' eye. Unfortunately they wanted money for it and lots of it so they got a bit narked off when people saw viable alternatives and so started claiming that Linux developers stole their code. They bought Caldera Linux a few years ago too (go figure).
