Story: Novell defends SuSE deal against SCO charges

I find it really confusing the way the article uses "SCO" to refer to two completely different companies. Would it be possible to distinguish them in future articles?
The company that bought Unix copyrights from Novell was Santa Cruz Operation (TTLA). The company that Darl McBride heads is The SCO Group (SCOX). While it's customary to refer to both of them as "SCO", this gets really confusing when both are mentioned in the one article...
(Santa Cruz Operation is now known as Tarantella, hence the ticker TTLA. The SCO Group, SCOX, was previously known as Caldera. For this reason, TTLA is sometimes known as "old SCO" and SCOX as "new SCO".)
