 deseretnews.com | Canopy is at heart of feud
When Novell founder Ray Noorda began The Canopy Group in 1992, he hoped the venture capital firm would help software start-ups in Utah and generate a steady source of funding for the charities to which he gave money.
Canopy's mission was to serve as an "incubator" for high-tech start-up companies, and over the years the firm would invest in dozens of companies, most notably the SCO Group, which made headlines for suing IBM and Linux users for copyright infringement.
Kimball, speaking for Yarro, said Noorda was aware and approved of the compensation and incentives plan for Canopy employees and that he intended for Yarro to be an equal partner in the firm.

But Canopy also has SCO on it's books, and SCO seems to be intent on destroying Linux with their current legal activities.
So the group policy about SCO is ultimately decided by Ralph who also appears to speak on Noordas behalf.

Attorneys for Canopy were expected to appear in 4th District Court Tuesday for a four-day hearing.
In January, former Canopy chief executive officer Ralph Yarro filed a lawsuit that alleged he and two other top executives were illegally fired Dec. 17 by a group led by the daughter of Ray Noorda, who founded both Novell and Canopy.
The Canopy countersuit claims the three took advantage of Noorda's diminished mental capacities by crafting a compensation and incentives plan that paid them millions, while Ray Noorda was only paid $60,000 a year, and his wife, Lewena, who sat on the board of directors with her husband and Yarro, wasn't paid at all.

Wow, I just read this article on what's going on over at Canopy and it's fairly shocking, especially the news of Rob Penrose's suicide, apparently directly related to events at Canopy.
But other might be more dependent on Canopy for mentoring and funding, and this shake-up could change a lot of things for those companies in sensitive stages, if any.
If any of the allegations from either side are true, and I think we can assume this is more than a simple understanding, I think this is a sad example of how business and money can be factors in tragic ends.

 Noorda Found Incompetent; Fight for Control of the Canopy Group Continues @ SYS-CON Media   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
The doctors were summoned because Noorda (pictured) is currently the center of a Tennessee Williams-style fight for control of the Canopy Group, the VC operation Noorda founded that is the single biggest shareholder in the SCO Group, which is suing IBM claiming damages of upwards of $5 billion.
Canopy's management, CEO Ralph Yarro, CFO Darcy Mott and general counsel Brent Christensen, were ousted in mid-December in what they basically call a palace putsch led by Noorda's daughter Val Noorda Kreidel who installed her own boy in their place.
There's supposed to be a four-day court hearing starting March 8 on Yarro's bid for a preliminary injunction to stop Val from dissipating Canopy's assets, distributing any stock to her parents or letting them exercise any stock options and making any statements that undercut the authority of the plaintiffs to act as officers of Canopy.
