SCO Cans Darl: The Christmas Came Early News Roundup

SCO
fires CEO Darl McBride
“As Pamela Jones of Groklaw commented recently about SCO’s last
amazing dodge from the grave in June: “At the absolute last minute,
SCO instead walks in with yet another proposed deal, claims
extraordinary circumstances, and wants to go forward with that
instead. Everyone in the courtroom but SCO and the judge view it as
gaming the system and deliberately sandbagging again.””

McBride Out; SCO Looking to Sell “Non-Core Assets”
“I find it hard, I guess, to understand the reasoning behind firing
McBride and then continuing the litigation unless there is some
other factor. Litigation is his best skill, in my view. But then,
SCO never did take my advice. Think how much trouble they could
have saved themselves, and the rest of us, if they only had.

“P.S. SCO’s litigation will eventually fail, in my view, because
of the GPL. They released their Linux products under the GPL. It’s
the fundamental flaw that will sink that ship no matter what else
they are able to do. I’ve been saying that since Groklaw began, and
it’s still my opinion.”

SCO fires CEO Darl McBride, architect of litigation
strategy
“Even after SCO’s deception was exposed and the company effectively
lost its case, Darl McBride continued to insist that the company
has evidence of System V code in Linux. No such evidence has been
presented and McBride’s argument directly contradicts testimony
given by other SCO executives. McBride’s stubborn detachment from
reality has made him a subject of ridicule in the Linux
community.”
