Canopy Worried About Veil Being Pierced? (3.50 / 8) (#3)

(User Info)

This is from the tail end of a recent interview with Darl. Uncharacteristically Darl watches his words extremely closely when it comes to Canopy:

Q: Are you concerned about his ability to serve?
A: We had a board meeting last week. The company needs to get some clarity about the situation. It's important to figure out who represents the Canopy shares. As long as the cloud is there regarding the Canopy situation we want to remove the cloud.
Q: Will he stay on the board?
A: No one on the SCO board has asked him to step down. He will continue to serve.
Q: Has the new Canopy management team made any requests yet of SCO?
A: We have had some discussions. I spoke with [new Canopy CEO] Bill Mustard. After the Mar. 8 hearing, I would be glad to provide details. We value them as our largest shareholder.
Q: Has Canopy made any suggestions that you sell off the Unix software business?
A: Shareholders don't come to a public company and make those kinds of decisions. We will work with them. They will definitely have a voice.

It sounds like Mustard talked some sense into Darl in trying to downplay the relationship between SCO and Canopy. Aren't there loads of quotes, contracts, etc showing how closely tied they are? I'm particularly thinking of the SCOSource license deal that had absolutely nothing to do with the Canopy-controlled Center7 settlement with Computer Associates. I think Canopy's egg is cooked and now they're trying to CYA.
