Almost. Textron owns both Cessna and Lycoming. Teledyne owns Continental.

I, too, am a bit surprised that Cessna went with an O-200 rather than an
IO-233-LSA. There's no real reason for the Skycatcher to go with a
certificated engine, since they're not going to make it IFR capable (an
error, IMAO, since it'd take little additional work - primarily getting
Garmin to get the G300 TSOd). I can certainly understand why they wouldn't
use a Rotax, OTOH.
