You tried to suggest that Corel and SCO had a connection a week ago in 
the "Is Debian ready for the desktop" thread and it was pointed out that 
you were mistaken:

Caldera purchased some of the assets of SCO, including the SCO name.
SCO then renamed itself Tarantella.
Caldera renamed itself The SCO Group
The SCO Group has been trying to sue everyone.

This has NOTHING to do with the company formerly known as SCO.
This CERTAINLY has NOTHING to do with Corel!
