Evan can answer this better than I.

Anyone who knows us, knows we're great technically but poor marketers.  Our
web site has never expressed our "mission" very well and hasn't been updated
in over two years.  Our partnership with Caldera dates back to our founding
days and we're justly proud of those firsts.  Unfortunately (or perhaps
fortunately now), it never amounted to much and we're as upset by their
recent behaviour as anyone in the Linux community.  In fact, as founding
members of CLUE, both Matthew and Evan were instrumental in founding CLIC
(http://www.linux.ca/clic).  So go ahead, be angry with SCO, we are.  But
don't hold us accountable for the actions of a one time business partner
which is now a very different company.
