IBM's Greatest Hits - Ransom Love's Declaration, Ex. 221
,----[ Quote ]
| Love was the CEO of Caldera prior to Darl McBride. And he tells
| the court about Caldera when it was a Linux company, about the
| Santa Cruz assets acquisition, a bit about Novell, where he
| worked before starting Caldera and worked on the Corsair project,
| and about his view of SCO's claims regarding header files. He
| didn't have to do this declaration. It's voluntary, unlike a
| deposition, and that speaks volumes right there.
|
| He thrusts a dagger right into the heart of SCO's claims. I see
| no way to recover from his declaration, because there is no one
| who can convincingly contradict.

SCO was mad [1], and now it's dead. No worries. Stevie has Novell as a FUD
sockpuppet now (context in [2,3])... the patent threats, as in the SCO case,
are baseless. They are weapon of FUD, nothing else.

The Media Reacts

| The media reaction to SCO's flurry of press releases and teleconference
| yesterday is intriguing. Just from the headlines, you can see how well it
| did or didn't go.

| "If people think SCO has gone crazy or 'MAD' it's now official,"
| McBride said.

| "There you have it. At least a third of SCO's entire market
| capitalization, and their entire current cash reserves, is payoffs
| funnelled from Microsoft. Their 10Qs reveal that every other line of
| cash inflow is statistical noise by comparison. The brave new
| SCO source business model is now clear: sue your customers, shill
| for Microsoft, kite your stock, and pray you stay out of jail."
