SCO was a dying company that tried every dirty trick in the book to blackmail the world into giving it a free ride to newfound riches based on ridiculous claims.
Actually, ironically, it's not SCO that tried to sue every Linux vendor, but the Linux company formerly known as Caldera Systems (of Caldera OpenLinux). They purchased SCO's UNIX business and renamed themselves to The SCO Group. The real SCO was renamed to Tarantella.
It's sad, not only is the name of 'old SCO' forever associated with attacks that they did not participate in, the Linux ecosystem was actually under attack by a (former) Linux company.
