To be more than pendantic (8-), 34% of Lineo is owned
by Caldera. Not exactly a breakaway. More like
a strategic profit center launch. If Lineo tanks it
doesn't reflect too badly on Caldera's stock. If
it flies, Caldera makes a nice tidy sum. Also,
Lineo owns a little more than 3% of Caldera's stock.
The whole thing was set up as a stock swap. It's
in Caldera's IPO filing. Makes for interesting
reading, that.
Considering that DaimlerChrysler just purchased
34% of Mitsubishi, and are now considered the
legal owners under Japanese law, I would say
that Caldera's relationship could be considered
one of ownership, at least in some parts of the
world...

To be pedantic, Lineo is not a subsidiary of Caldera. It is a
totally independent company that broke away from Caldera.
A fair summary (for those that care) can be found here:
