Board of Directors changes at SCO

The SCO Group has announced some Board changes, including the abrupt resignation of Steve Cakebread ("due to personal time constraints"). As has been pointed out elsewhere, Mr. Cakebread is also Chief Financial Officer at Salesforce.com, a high-profile application service provider based on Linux. It seems entirely possible that Salesforce.com got a copy of that letter SCO sent out, and this is their response.

...or possibly as

Salesforce.com to Cakebread: "Stay on the SCO board, if you want to have a bit more time on your hands than you do currenty."

...or maybe even as "I don't have enough time to teach these guys what 'FREE' means! They aren't even trying to get it!"

Long term which is going to look better on my resume

I kind of liked these salesforce guys. They're all obviously (ex) used car salesmen, at least judging by their web. They have a copy of every single trite stupid "marketing" expresion heard in the last 15 years. They even have a dashboard for us!

On the other hand I wouldn't mind sacking a few salemen closer at hand... if I could just understand what it is that they want to sell me...
