Canopy Group

The Canopy Group is an investment firm founded by Ray Noorda. They are the parent company of various technology companies. Currently, their most popular entity is The SCO Group. Due to the public out-cry of The SCO Groups litigious actions, The Canopy Group has had to hide and protect its other entities from the boycott which suffered The SCO Group.
