SCO CEO McBride Speaks Out On Novell, Finances, And Groklaw
,----[ Quote ]
| InformationWeek: The Web site Groklaw has given you a pretty rough time over
| the past few years. What effect has that had on your image?
|
| McBride: I don't think you can discount the impact of Groklaw in trying to
| create a bad image around us. It's the equivalent of a negative political ad
| campaign. We used to counter everything Groklaw said. I thought it was my
| responsibility to SCO stakeholders to have a counter reaction to all these
| attacks. It turns out that doesn't work well in a courtroom setting. The
| judges told us that, my attorneys told me that, so I decided to back off.
|
| We just want to have a day in court. Though early on I admit to being more
| engaged in the battle.

| SCO made a lot of claims during those press conferences, some of which never
| made it to court and were quickly glossed over. At times it seemed like the
| company was saying whatever it could while it had the chance. It’s no
| coincidence that the public claims stopped once the legal nitty-gritty got
| started.

SCO Goes Bust in the Courtroom
,----[ Quote ]
| SCO essentially attempted a costly, time-consuming "Hail Mary" to score a big
| payday. It might have better spent that time building products and getting
| customers. What's more, it picked fights with big-name tech players who know
| how to wage a court battle.
|
| As of now, SCO's shares are trading at $0.51 apiece, and the company sports a
| market cap of a measly $11.5 million. It's definitely a sobering example.
| Foolish inventors looking at companies with similar strategies should realize
| that they're more like lotteries than businesses.
