Should remind you of Microsoft's attempt to claim that they actually love
Linux.


Morons.  SCO is not the same company as The Santa Cruz Operation.  The old
SCO (the one referenced) changed it's name to Tarantella in 2001.  Caldera
became the new SCO.

And also, :

On July 13, 2005, Tarantella was purchased by Sun Microsystems for $25,000,000. Sun posted a letter to Tarantella customers indicating the company would be wholly assimilated after 90 days. Tarantella exists now, only as a division of that company.
