A caldera is a volcanic crater which usually has a flat surface, at the bottom, formed by the hardening of a lava lake.

Yellowstone National Park is largely contained within the Yellowstone caldera.

Notable Calderas

Caldera is a corporation associated with the Linux and open source movement; which manufactures workstation and server distributions. It was founded by Ransom Love, and received start-up funding from Ray Noorda. Caldera came to own the rights to the UNIX mark in 2001; as well rights to the SCO UNIX product line (a proprietary product for Intel computers that would be expected to compete directly with Linux).

In 2002, Caldera merged with SuSE Linux, Turbolinux and Conectiva to form United Linux. Later that year, Caldera's management recognized that the majority of its profits were coming from the legacy SCO flavor of UNIX, and renamed the company the SCO Group. Love later left the company. In January of the following year, SCO retained lawyer David Boies, announcing that they would be investigating infringement on their intellectual property pertaining to their ownership of UNIX. On March 7 of the following year, CEO Darl McBride announced that they were suing IBM over its contributions to Linux, claiming that IBM stole UNIX trade secrets and gave them to Linux kernel developers.
