As far as I can see this appears to be led by the Caldera Marketing gaggle 
which, since the SCO merger, has demonstrated remarkable ineptitude, 
insensitivity and a complete lack of knowledge of even the basics of Linux -- 
or computing for that matter.

These are business dev and marketing drones with shiny loafers who know (or 
care) nothing about the technology... they are just bundling, packing and 
pushing for money, period.
