tyme Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 I'm not sure anyone could post an accurate statement! might violate board guidelines ;-) (j/k) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pmpatrick Posted September 6, 2003 Report Share Posted September 6, 2003 Looks like they need to get their stock price up again so the insiders can dump more shares. Every time it goes down, they come up with more ridiculous press releases to pump up the stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glitz Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 :roll: they are thick No, it's quite sound businesswise. Raise the hype, get the stocks to go up, maybe get a few foolish people to buy licenses and then sell, sell, sell... Make it look like you're innocent by loosing the court case and retire wealthy...or move on to the next company that is in financial difficulty and do it again. Glitz.

Ixthusdan Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Good point. These guys specialize in cashing out dead businesses. They don't care about any of this, only the cash out. In fact, a loss in any of the suites will give them legitimate reasons to close down without looking real obvious. It's a cash scam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gowator Posted September 8, 2003 Report Share Posted September 8, 2003 Hmmm... seems like theyre aiming to lose. Like, if they wanted to win wouldn't they first sue IBM, or preferably someone smaller (and if they knew they had a case and were going to win) use the decision to sway future decisions. Or alternatively, know you have no case and decide to do everything possible to hype the whole thing so they can cash in on stocks and then spectacularly fail in one case so it dominoes the others ... hey ho.... take the cash and find another money tree.

The Canopy Group has realized that even if they raise some ire, it still means a better bottom line. Darl McBride is not in the business of protecting SCO IP, he's in the business of raising SCO's stock price, and allowing the Canopy Group to recover earnings from that.

zero0w Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 SCO has terminated SGI's UNIX license: http://cbronline.com/latestnews/c87ea1f4f4...0256db20018c17e I am beginning to suspect if SCO is trying to fight the whole industry who is standing behind Linux. I think nobody will ever do business with SCO anymore, even if they could win the case; because it is the way how SCO will treat its customers.

DragonMage Posted October 1, 2003 Report Share Posted October 1, 2003 I think the more SCO is doing this, the more SCO is becoming more irrelevant in the Unix world. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
