Was there ever any shred of evidence that the actions of SCO were influenced or directed by MS? I'm legitimately curious.

- rhizome 15y agoMostly circumstantial, but I think the duck test passes: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO-Linux_controversies#Microsoft_funding_of_SCO_controversy http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SCO-Linux_controversies#Microso...
- RexRollman 15y agoIt kind of funny when you think about it: Novell sold DR-DOS to Caldera specifically so Caldera could sue Microsoft (Novell didn't want to do it themselves for PR reasons). Caldera would reach a settlement with MS in 2000 and, later that same year, would use some of those funds to help finance their purchase of SCO. It seems to me that, in a limited manner, Novell reaped what it sowed.
