Well you might identify the people as that.

But the products they produce tell a different story.

Well SCO  now produces openserver and unixware  - showing the merge of
Caldera and the old SCO.

While Tarantella is a spin off of SCO - it is just  *producing* the
applications  - not the same as SCO at all.


If we follow where people move, does that mean we have to rename Coca Cola
to Pepsi when the CEO of Pepsi changes job to become CEO of Coca Cola ? well
no.

We'd best identfy the 'factory'  not the people if identifying the people
fail to tell us anything about the product.   In the case of  software, the
factory is the source code. The source code is called SCO. So the product is
also called SCO. SCO is an operating system.


To say Tarantella is close to being SCO is strange.- Tarantella dont
*Produce* an operating system. They may well be selling OS's, or the labour
associated with installing  and maintaing OS's but they dont produce an OS.
They produce applications.
