Let's not forget this is / was a [former] Linux distributor.  (I guess 
they're not any more.)
How does this look to the Caldera user?    Say the dedicated Caldera 
user, who's bought and paid for their Caldera Linux distribution(s). 
 Then bought and paid for newer versions each time, and now they're told 
by the same people they've been faithful to all these years, that the 
applications they've sold to them NOW require a NEW licenseing fee.

How can they go on selling anything to anyone after all this?
