Coffee conversation....re SCO going bonkers..

Suggestion I'd not heard before....

Ransom Love remember him?

I wonder if RL not being asked to head up UnitedLinux was a large part of
the cause of the SCO madness (there's nowt so vengefull etc)?

Headed Caldera...saw himself as the bloke who "corporatized
linux"... stepped down from heading Caldera intending to run UL but
the call never came...meanwhile...Mr "I'm bonkers me" McBride was
appointed to be lawyer in chief...I mean CEO...

Old article covering this period:

"Caldera International, Inc. has named Darl McBride its new president
and CEO, replacing Ransom Love.

At the same time, the company has announced that Love will devote his
efforts to the United Linux consortium whose founding he has spearheaded.

Love joined Caldera when it was formed in 1994. He has been chief spokesman
for the UnidedLinux group since its formation was announced May 30. He has
been Caldera's president and CEO since 1998."

""Ransom Love is recognized as a key thought leader and luminary
in the Linux and UNIX industry and working closely with him will be a great
opportunity," said McBride, also in the release. "Going forward,
UnitedLinux will be critical to the success of Caldera. Ransom was
instrumental in the creation of UnitedLinux, so it was natural to have him
head Caldera's UnitedLinux operations. His leadership will be instrumental
to making UnitedLinux a standard in our industry.""


Spurned lovers are always fun.
