SCO Zombie McBride's New Plan For World Litigation 193
eldavojohn writes "Years after you thought it was all over, Groklaw is reporting that Darl McBride (ex-CEO of SCO) has formed a new company that is buying SCO's mobile business for peanuts — but he's also going to get 'certain Intellectual Property' with the deal. You may recall that McBride was the brains behind the Linux lawsuits that SCO launched and it appears he may be orchestrating an exit route where he escapes with some IP intact, in order to wreak havoc once again. Hopefully this is the part at the end of the movie where the zombie comes back to life one last time only to have the hero deliver the final final blow. When this news broke upon the investment world, SCO's stock skyrocketed a blistering 11%, bringing it up seven cents to a full seventy cents — a level which it has not achieved since 2007."

So it isn't legal to kill him, or have him killed. (So don't try this kids.)
Outbid him and send him packing (Score:5, Interesting)
It's only $35k!
I'll personally commit $100 to create a fund to outbid him.
Who's with me?

Hmm, Windows 7 Mobile edition is coming out soon. And the McBrideinator in moving into position for another attack - with mobile patents, perhaps partly based around the use of UNIX in a mobile platform.
Coincidence?
