This was not initially the case.  SCO was once an engineering-driven company
that was considered a seriously good place for programmers to work.  They
had a huge programming and design staff, a hot tub available for technical
staff, and some highly respectable products.

By 1997 this had started to change and SCO was starting to get taken over
by lawyers.  Within a few years there was nothing left but lawyers and they
had turned into a patent holding company.

But this was not originally the case and they are sorely missed.
