		Darl C. McBride is the current President and CEO of The SCO Group.
		McBride has also been the senior vice president of IKON Office Solutions where he managed 4,000 employees and the buildup of a $500 million systems integration unit through numerous acquisitions, channel programs, and industry partnerships.
		McBride will also explore how the information technology industry - software, hardware, networking and services -- depends on money passing from one hand to another, asserting that the livelihood of engineers and developers rests on paid models, even as those developers donate time to free projects such as Linux.

		McBride believes that when he faces his critics, as he did Monday night at Harvard, he can defuse their anger.
		McBride sees himself as a reasonable man. As a child he was the one who always sorted out sibling disputes.
		McBride began to suspect that IBM was simply donating portions of its AIX code to the Linux community, to hasten the day when Linux and Unix were functional equals -- the day when SCO's business would essentially cease to exist.

	SCO CEO Chastises Open Source Community
		McBride said the failure of the community and Raymond to come forward and help apprehend the attacker raises questions about whether open source is ready to take a central role in business computing.
		In his letter, McBride also jumped on an apparent admission by Bruce Perens, an oft-cited open source guru and former leader of the Debian project, that there is, in fact, some Unix System V source code in the Linux kernel.
		McBride said the allegedly "improper contribution" by SGI is an example that reveals fundamental structural flaws in the Linux development process.

	SCO CEO says IBM behind open source attacks \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2003-08-21 \| By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		McBride proudly dumped two phone-book-sized binders of press clippings on the stage during his SCO Forum keynote on Monday as proof that his company had become more relevant in the high technology industry.
		McBride declined to reveal the sources of his allegations, but he claimed that IBM was involved in Novell's and Red Hat's responses to SCO's lawsuit.
		McBride also pointed to the involvement in the dispute of the Free Software Foundation, whose legal counsel, Eben Moglen, has issued a position paper critical of SCO, and Linus Torvalds, who has been increasingly vocal in his criticism of the Unix company.

	NewsForge \| Who is telling the truth, McBride or Torvalds?
		On one hand, we have Darl McBride, the man who apparently confuses threats to litigate with titillate, saying that a small number of files (less than 10, unless you count each multiple times the way SCO does) in Linux were copied from Unix.
		Unfortunately for Darl McBride, it is the transparency of the open source process itself (a process he attacks regularly) that reveals the truth.
		McBride is quoted in the same New York Times story that carried Torvald's account of personally writing some of the files as saying that said he stood by the company's assertions.

		McBride: Part of the reason we went back to SCO is that I looked in BusinessWeek.
		McBride: The way they're going to operate is that Turbo will be a part of SRA, and the key guy driving that will be a COO, Yano-san, who has been driving Turbo Japan.

		I think Darl's overall position is that he's protecting the shareholders and feels that's what he has to do.

	SCO To Expand Its Lawsuit Beyond Linux
		SCO Group (Quote, Chart) CEO Darl McBride said his company is currently comparing source code awarded in a 1994 settlement between AT&T's (Quote, Chart) Unix Systems Laboratories and BSD, in which Berkeley's version of the Unix source was severed from the proprietary version.
		McBride said SCO warned the Fortune 1,000 and the Global 500 earlier this year, in the form of an open-letter, that said legal action could be possible if they don't pay a licensing fee on parts of the Linux operating system that SCO alleges are infringing on its copyright.
		McBride said his legal team has compiled a list of about 24 companies, including some international firms, that it is contacting over its copyright infringment claims.

		McBride turned around and sued his former employer for $10 million, claiming breach of contract, nonpayment of wages, and fraud.
		McBride eventually dropped his lawsuit, and, as part of the settlement, walked away from his startup.

		McBride has also received death threats, a challenge to a fistfight, and a flood of denial-of-service attacks targeting his company's email servers and his home phone.
		McBride has transformed SCO into a legal missile aimed at the heart of the open source software movement.
		But McBride is certain that he's right, even if many legal analysts say the factual reed on which SCO bases its claim is thin.

	SCO's McBride takes over the offense \| Tech News on ZDNet
		However, McBride told ZDNet Australia after the vendor had wound up its SCO Forum 2004 in Las Vegas the sorts of changes being discussed were "not going to happen" as the legal principles behind the rules were enshrined in the United States' Constitution.
		McBride also today shrugged off an Oakland County Circuit Court decision to grant most of a DaimlerChrysler motion to dismiss a case brought by SCO over certification and compliance issues associated with its use of Unix as the "equivalent of losing a pre-season football game".
		McBride said SCO was "pleased" with the type of evidence his company had gathered to date in the discovery process in its central case with Blue, although SCO says is still trying to wrest some material from the computing giant.

	SCO: GPL threatens $229B software market \| InfoWorld \| News \| 2003-11-19 \| By Robert McMillan, IDG News Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Citing WIPO data, McBride said that the value of the worldwide software market would approach $229 billion by 2007, and that it was being threatened by the ideas behind the Free Software Foundation's GPL, the software license that governs Linux.
		Attendees of McBride's keynote were handed a WIPO primer on intellectual property (IP) law entitled "Intellectual Property: A Power Tool for Economic Growth." The pamphlet had been shipped to SCO by WIPO free of charge, a SCO spokesman said.
		McBride also took time during his keynote to defend his management, saying that he had cut SCO's quarterly losses and restored the company's value from a low of $6 million to its current value of over $200 million, despite intense pressure from both the computer industry and Linux users.

	ITworld.com - GPL is no hippie dream
		McBride's posting was the latest in a series of public statements by SCO portraying the open-source operating system as a threat to the commercial software industry and an enemy of intellectual property.
		Maybe someone can explain to Darl that the GPL is designed so that people receive the value of other peoples copyrighted works in return for having made their own contributions.
		So not only is Darl wrong when he attacks the GPL as being somehow against "financial gain;" the notion that the GPL has, of "exchange of receipt of copyrighted works," is actually explicitly encoded in U.S. copyright law.

		McBride: I don't think you are going to have any challenges worldwide with the argument that SCO owns the majority of the Unix operating system intellectual property.
		McBride: So, at the same time we filed the lawsuit against IBM for the misappropriation of trade secrets and other things, we sent a letter to IBM informing them of a material breach of their AIX contract with us.

		To date (remember, McBride has been on board as CEO for only a few weeks), Caldera has already come to agreements with holders of these old licenses that will generate $600,000 in recurring revenue.

	SCO puts disputed code in the spotlight \| CNET News.com
		During the first two hours of a morning keynote session at SCO Forum here Monday, CEO Darl McBride outlined the company's legal strategy and tried to convince SCO partners and customers that it is fighting the good fight.
		McBride said that pattern-recognition experts SCO hired have ferreted out a slew of infringing code in Linux.
		McBride's message was reinforced by comments from Chris Sontag, head of the company's SCOsource effort to extract more revenue from its Unix intellectual property, and attorney Mark Heise, one of the Boies, Schiller & Flexner partners who is working on SCO's intellectual property case.

	SCO: Unix code copied into Linux \| CNET News.com
		McBride's accusation cuts to the heart of the open-source movement's legal and philosophical underpinnings.
		McBride refused to detail which specific code had been copied but said there were several instances--"some of them go back several years, and others are recent"--and said the copying was "not minor." SCO, however, won't publish what it's found.
		Bruce Perens, a former leader of the Debian version of Linux and an unofficial spokesman for open-source programmers, derided SCO chief McBride's claims as an attempt to foster fear, uncertainty and doubt--"FUD," in computing parlance.
