Here follow some of my answers to questions which have been raised about the SCOX claims and lawsuits. I am not an attorney or financial advisor; these represent my opinions only.

Remember the guy you knew in high school, the one that came from a nice middle class home, made friends easily, excelled at sports and made decent enough grades? You know, the same guy that 10 years later frequented the local pawn shop to hock his grandma's wheelchair for a crack rock? He really believed himself as he told the pawn shop owner "this is the last time", then proceeded down to the crack house and got shot to death by the crack dealer. Welcome to Darwinism, buddy.

Does this same theory of evolution exist in the corporate world? I think so. With only minor tweaking, the evidence is convincing. The crack house of the corporate world is the court house, the judge is the crack dealer, and Darl McBride is the rock star!.

The August 3rd, 2004 "keynote speech" Free Software and the Idiots who Buy It given by Rob Enderle at SCO Forum 2004 leaves little doubt that this man does not deserve the self anointed title of "analyst". Unless, of course, he is describing himself in the tradition of those who fueled the "irrational exuberance" of the dot com bubble and similar disasters such as the Enron implosion.

Perhaps this "analyst" would be wisely advised to stick with his target audience by writing an autobiography titled "Idiotically Irrational Investors and the Asinine Analysts who Provided Analysis To Them".

In his keynote speech, Enderle stated:

"For those that really want to understand the why behind my position on Linux as a Free software scam; let me tell you a little of my own history. Please understand, what I'm going to share is not easy, it brings up memories that I would just as soon forget, but I think it important, before you listen to any analyst or advocate, that you understand the foundation for their beliefs before you decide if they are valid or not.".

There is little confusion in this writer's mind about the foundation of this "analyst's" beliefs. As a matter of fact, this rant, masquerading as a "keynote speech", leaves little doubt about the foundation of those beliefs and they can be best described by two words: raving and lunatic.
