    Trolltech is a division of Ray Noorda's Canopy Group. Another division of the Canopy group is a small Unix IP company called SCO. You might have heard of them...

    Scary huh?

    My understanding though is that Canopy has a relatively small stake in Trolltech, unlike SCO. I'd be curious to know what reason Canopy has for investing in a small software house with strong links to the open source movement. Call me suspicious, but "SCO" (Caldera) was, until a few months ago, a leading force behind a whole new Linux distribution (United Linux) and was making large quantities of sourcecode public.

    I hope really Trolltech are run by honest, decent, managers who know what they're doing.
