As what? Where?

No doubt he has fond memories of the heady good old days, when hope sprang eternal. Well, not eternal after all. I note it is Ralph Yarro who stood up to praise him and send him on his way. Where is Darl McBride in this picture? Doesn't he usually do the honors at such events?

If you don't mind a brief stroll down memory lane, we can remind ourselves of a detail about MTI, Mr. Raimondi's company, from June of 2003:

"SCO is basically owned and run by The Canopy Group, a Utah firm with investments in dozens of companies. Canopy's chief executive, Ralph J. Yarro III, is chairman of SCO's board of directors and engineered the suit against Microsoft in 1996. Darcy Mott, Canopy's chief financial officer, is another SCO director, along with Thomas Raimondi, chief executive of a Canopy company called MTI Technology. . . .

"Canopy companies sometimes share more than a common parent. They form joint ventures and buy and sell one another's stock. Last November SCO formed a joint venture called Volution with Center 7, a Canopy company. In 2000, Caldera sold off part of its business to EBIZ Enterprises, a Texas company in which Canopy holds a controlling interest and whose board boasts three Canopy execs, including Mott, according to SEC filings. Previously, Caldera bought shares in two other Canopy companies, Troll Tech and Lineo, and later wrote off the Troll Tech investment but sold the Lineo shares at a profit, according to SEC filings. In 1999, Caldera sold its own shares to MTI, then bought those shares back last year, according to SEC filings.

"What's the point of all this horse trading? McBride says he has no idea, since those deals happened before he joined Caldera. 'I wasn't involved in those transactions,' he says.

But Raimondi was there. That article was titled, "What SCO Wants, SCO Gets." I'm thinking instead that the headline should be rewritten thus, "What SCO Wanted, It Used to Get, Before It Foolishly Got IBM and the FOSS Community Mad and Digging in the Dirt."

Here's the press release.
