> If your argument is that Caldera might not actually have the rights to UNIX in the first place to grant the license, that's fair.

Yeah, everyone knows Unix is owned by SCO, just like C++, Linux, and the look on your face, which is priceless.

(So help me, SCO claimed to own C++ at one point:

> C++ is one of the properties that SCO owns today and we frequently are approached by customers who wish to license C++ from us and we do charge for that. Those arrangements are done on a case-by-case basis with each customer and are not disclosed publicly. C++ licensing is currently part of SCO's SCOsource licensing program.

Maybe they claimed to own an implementation of C++ but it would be typical of them to claim to own the moon and sun and be sublicensing the stars to God.)
