Story: Novell defends SuSE deal against SCO charges

What continues to irk me is McBride's constant use of "we" in the context of SCO in the 1990s. While it is true that Caldera bought assets from SCO in 2000, and subsequently changed their name, Caldera was not there in 1995 when the Novell transaction took place, and McBride has only been at the newly-renamed company since last year.

What was bought by SCO, and then what was sold to Caldera is up to the courts to decide, but there was a lot of history that Darl wasn't part of, and which he now is eager to insert himself into. I am not sure, but he was most likely still working at Novell in '95 when Novell sold some of the UNIX property to SCO. So, maybe the "we" McBride should be talking about in that context is Novell.

Remember that there are 1,000 miles between Santa Cruz and Lindon, and it often seems that McBride is about that far from the facts. I certainly don't think this is accidental. On the contrary, I think it is part of the overall plan of subterfuge they have created.
