Oh, good!

This means we'll finally get to see mountains and mountains of briefcases full
of millions of lines of code, analyzed every which way from Tuesday.

Or maybe just more hot air.

I hate to say it...
Authored by: ExcludedMiddle on Tuesday, June 21 2005 @ 03:52 PM EDT
Am I the only one happily surprised that something good came of the request to
unseal documents. It certainly was a clumsy request, and it didn't succeed aside
from an informal request from the judge to unseal what they could. But the
parties did commisserate and unsealed a number of documents, which is a good
thing in this case with so much public interest.

I still believe that the original guesses that were discussed related to the
motivation behind this unseal request were true. Basically, I do believe that
certain parties wanted to unseal the IBM memo that fell under attorney-client
privelege. But in the end, it ended up having a very beneficial effect.

Just a lot of .....

Nothing. I keep waiting for Ben Stein's voice as the narrator for this bizarre
tale of corporate greed and executive self-destruction.

I don't believe that young Darl McBride will be seeing many executive offices
anytime soon. Once you've ruined yourself as a CEO you've tainted yourself for
life in my opinion.

As CEO, you must always remember that with privilege, comes responsibility. Not
all CEO's seem to adhere to that mantra much to their detriment.


Cheers,


Nick

Darl & Ethics
Authored by: Anonymous on Tuesday, June 21 2005 @ 10:30 PM EDT
A lot of people in the above threads accuse McBride of being unethical. Exactly
what has he done that is unethical, and I mean something that he can be
prosecuted for?

Suing IBM is not unethical, it's opportunistic. Suing one's customers is also
not unethical, but it's bad business. Being a loudmouth is also not unethical.
Spreading Linux FUD is not unethical - it's hardball business. And the
Canopy/SCO business was settled out of court, I presume to everyone's
satisfaction, or the matter would still be in litigation.

I wouldn't mind having some hard facts enumerated here on Darl's ethical lapses,
and not just "we don't like him" rants.
