SCO Doesn’t Take Itself Seriously Anymore
Signs that SCO has gone insane
From SCO’s Web site:
Winter 2009
Dear SCO Customers and Partners,
Blah. Blah. Blah.
Best regards,
Jeff Hunsaker
President & Chief Operating Officer
SCO Operations
According to Groklaw, SCO is left with approximately 50 employees. SCO’s demise (and sale of asset) is now featured in the cover page of SD Times [PDF], which also has another article that compares SCO’s CEO to George Bush:
As the SCO Group debacle continues to unfold, we can’t help but think that CEO Darl McBride and now former-U.S. President George W. Bush have a lot in common.
Both went to war based on bad information. For Bush, it was the never-located “weapons of mass destruction” he believed Iraq President Saddam Hussein (now executed) was harboring. For McBride, it was the never-proven “Unix source code” that he believed IBM and others harbored in their Linux distributions.
SCO’s last words might be “Blah. Blah. Blah.” █
“On the same day that CA blasted SCO, Open Source evangelist Eric Raymond revealed a leaked email from SCO’s strategic consultant Mike Anderer to their management. The email details how, surprise surprise, Microsoft has arranged virtually all of SCO’s financing, hiding behind intermediaries like Baystar Capital.”

Well, it seems to me that Mr. Hunsaker never thought that anyone would read this – it’s addressed to "SCO Customers and Partners", of which I can’t believe there are many – if any – left.

The Register has just covered this too.
