Subject: [TUHS] RIP Darl McBride former CEO of SCO
Date: Sun, 3 Nov 2024 19:17:03 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <f25b8e86-54c1-408f-ab0c-0824616fcd79@gmail.com> (raw)

It happened in September, apparently, but is only now making the rounds. 
Darl McBride, known for taking everybody and his brother to court over 
stolen code, has passed away.

I actually remember liking SCO back in the day, before the company 
leadership went dark-side. These days, we get to play with ancient unix 
cuz of their license. What a topsy turvy world.

Is there a concise summary of the SCO suits and fallout out there? I've 
seen a lot on the AT&T side of things, but other than having lived 
through it, I've not seen much on what eventually happened and why it 
all sort of just dissappeared.
