AdTI is named after de Tocqueville, one of the great foreign observers of America. Obviously AdTI itself is neither foreign nor a great observer, except maybe of self-serving trends.
SCO is named after The Santa Cruz Organization, which contributed Xenix, the first important PC-based version of Unix. But SCO is really just a rebranding of Caldera, the failed ex-Linux vendor which spun out of Novell during Ray Noorda's tenure.
So these two companies with phony, self-aggrandizing names are now attacking Linus, who actually did invent something and successfully galvanized many others to help.
