As I understand it, the business model of unXis is to resume the original SCO Unix and UnixWare business as it was just before the pro-Linux Caldera merger and the subsequent Darl McBride anti-Linux madness. They want to sell Unix licenses and support to people who want "Real AT&T/SysV UNIX", and hope to catch up on the tons of coding and updating that was neglected when Darl ran the show.

The original Caldera Linux business is completely dead, though any residual rights in that now belong to unXis too.

One way to see it is that SCO got rid of Darl and his lawsuit, by forking the mess into its own throw away company called TSG. Although technically, they had to keep the lawsuit part under the original pid and run the old business under the new pid, because the litigation is locked onto the old Caldera pid.

As long as TSG lives long enough that the asset sale to unXis cannot be reversed, they will be happy to get rid of TSG.
