Tarantella is the Santa Cruz Operation, while the SCO Group use to be
Caldera International. Now having said that, way back when the changes
happened, the then Santa Cruz Operation SOLD all of their UNIX technologies
to Caldera. Now, not talking about the products which is SCO Unix that was
sold to Caldera. SCO which everyone knows was in fact, the Santa Cruz
Operation, which became Tarantella. And Caldera International became the SCO
Group which sells the SCO range of products. So technically, there was no
merger. So SCO now does exist as the SCO Group, but the old SCO (Santa Cruz
Operation) does still exist Tarantella.
