Do we?  UnXis claims that it acquired all of SCO's assets and intellectual properties.  The new company claims ownership of the UNIX and UNIXWARE trademarks:

This is, of course, wrong.  These are owned by The Open Group.  So, what is really going on?  It looks to me like UnXis is gearing up for another round.

Never mind the blatant lies elsewhere in the company FAQ, like how UNIX is entirely closed source.
