Sorry bout the typos etc....
The board of SCO, if they have any integrity as human beings and business men
has no choice but:
1)Liquidate the company, to preserve the few remaining jobs not involved in the
litigation. Fire the crooks, and let the engineers who have clean hands carry on
the product. If they win ownership in the Novell case, donate the remaining SYSV
copyrights in a BSD license. Openunix, etc, can live on to serice existing
customer, and on the long term evolve into a service arm which helps small and
medium businesses with Open source Enterprise Infrastructure. Leave a small
portion of the remaining cash for this group.
2)Fire the entire executive team, as well as all employees involved in the
licensing scam. File criminal suits of embezzlement against the main
characters. File civil suits against th eembesslers to have compensatin repaid
to the company. Their public statements over the last few years would make it
easy to prove intent and malice. Plausible deniability will not work as a
defence because of all teh public statements of people who proved Darl & Co
wrong.
3)Fire the legal counsels, and break the contract with the Boies law firm on the
grounds that legal malpractrice enabled the contracts to be written, in addition
to conspiracy to commit fraud in cooperation with the SCO execs. Boies would
never be stupid enough to sue SCO, since the public dirty mudfest would kill
off their credibility as law firm instantly.
4)Put any money remaining into an escrow account.
5)Hire a legal counsel who's task is to settle with IBM, Redhat, Autozone and
DC. Admit guilt on all points, distribute the remaining money to the victims,
and have all settlements be public. (Hazy on these details, but that's about the
gist of it.) A requirement for 5). is of course that post-settlement, none of
the original crooks can gain a penny from SCOX or any sister/mother/child
company of SCOX.
