At one time, MS owned a chunk of SCO.  Of course with the DR-DOS lawsuit
Caldera won against MS awhile ago, I can't imagine MS still owns any
part of SCO.  And SCO suing MS in Europe to remove the requirement to
ship MS code in SCO Unix.

Hmm, they've been pretty successful suing MS over the years.
