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.
