Interview: SCO's Darl McBride and Chris Sontag (CRN)
These folks blather on for pages. Big words, big threats. But when it comes to actually revealing
evidence, they say "It's kind of hollow words that we are not showing code, because we have
shown examples..." without actually showing anything. Even in court.
Other things. Consultants giving full weight to their claims. Attaching well known important
people to impress. But never showing any evidence, except under very controlled
circumstances. Lots of red flags and contradictions, but same story repeated ad nauseum. No
real business, but stock price inflated based on possible riches.
This reminds me of another situation.
