“It is well documented that Darl’s public statements
make him personally, not just as SCO’s CEO, responsible for Lanham
violations which are easily demonstrated once Judge Kimball’s
rulings in SCO vs Novell are finalized. Ralph is a harder reach,
being “merely” chairman and not an officer as such, but he too has
made public statements which place him “on the line” and it will
not be difficult to document that he was responsible for setting
policies which, with the total failure of SCO’s public
representations, represent illegal acts.”
