SCO Zombie McBride's New Plan For World Litigation
eldavojohn writes "Years after you thought it was all over, Groklaw is reporting that Darl McBride (ex-CEO of SCO) has formed a new company that is buying SCO's mobile business for peanuts — but he's also going to get 'certain Intellectual Property' with the deal. You may recall that McBride was the brains behind the Linux lawsuits that SCO launched and it appears he may be orchestrating an exit route where he escapes with some IP intact, in order to wreak havoc once again. Hopefully this is the part at the end of the movie where the zombie comes back to life one last time only to have the hero deliver the final final blow. When this news broke upon the investment world, SCO's stock skyrocketed a blistering 11%, bringing it up seven cents to a full seventy cents — a level which it has not achieved since 2007."
$0.63 + $0.07 = $0.70
No, but $0.63 + $0.07 = $0.70 and .07/.63 is .111111 or about 11%. I think you misread.
Actually considering the amount of money he has wasted or caused to be wasted, I would venture to say that the sociopath that he is should not be allowed to breed or to breath. But we don't always get what we want...
If brains are equated to IP, then the comparison is apt. Zombies eat the brains of the living, to the detriment of the living, just to prolong the zombies' pathetic existence. McBride wants to harvest the IP of others, to the detriment of the originators of said IP, only to prolong his pathetic existence.
Perhaps not coincidentally, this also reads a lot like the theme of Atlas Shrugged... except, you know, no zombies and all that.
Actually, SCO *does* have people looking to invest in it. Yarro, as proxy for other unnamed investors.
But what THAT's about, is "who gets the first cut of the SCO corpse"? (They want it, of course!) The terms they want for the loan are outrageous.
