Removed Trivia
[edit]I removed the following from the Top Section because it's trivia. I'm leaving it here so if there was significant impact from this event, the info and links could be incorporated.
- In January 2004, their website, www.sco.com, was attacked by the Mydoom computer virus, which took down the website for 2 weeks using a DDoS attack.[1]

- This has been mentioned in the article body (with a different cite) but not the lede. Wasted Time R (talk) 11:52, 10 February 2022 (UTC)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of SCO Group's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "ap-2011":
- From MerchantBridge: "MerchantBridge CEO, others die in Iraq plan crash". Arkansas Democrat Gazette. Associated Press. 5 February 2011.
- From Xinuos: Loftin, Josh (April 14, 2011). "Las Vegas company buys Unix". The Spectrum & Daily News. St. George, Utah. Associated Press. p. C2 – via Newspapers.com.
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 23:42, 26 December 2021 (UTC)
Article tone?
[edit]Reading over this article, it reads like an essay or a video script on the history of this group rather than a neutral article on the matter. Headings like "The Most Hated Company In Tech" read more like chapter titles than sections and there are lines like "In any case, the stage was set for the next several years' worth of court filings, depositions, hearings, interim rulings, and so on" which, while neutral, seems sensationalized.
