The SCO Group, often called SCO and later renamed The TSG Group, was an American software company that existed from 2002 to 2012. It owned the Unix operating system assets that had belonged to the Santa Cruz Operation, the original SCO, including the UnixWare and OpenServer technologies. Under chief executive Darl McBride it pursued a series of high-profile legal battles known as the SCO-Linux controversies, beginning with its 2003 lawsuit against IBM, which claimed that Linux contained Unix code. A 2007 ruling in SCO v. Novell rejected its claim to Unix copyrights, and the company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection soon after. It sold its mobility and Unix assets in 2011 and converted to Chapter 7 bankruptcy in 2012, while part of the IBM case continued until a 2021 settlement.
