SCO CEO likely will be forced out of job, Mar 04, 2008

Darl McBride said Monday he regrets that he is being pushed out as CEO of The SCO Group software company but not his decision to sue IBM and Novell, lawsuits that led to the company's bankruptcy and ultimately his departure.

The promise of a $100 million infusion from a New York investment firm looks to guarantee The SCO Group has the resources to continue its high-profile legal battles against Novell, IBM and others that have rattled the open-source software community.

Losing in court, vilified on blogs and in bankruptcy proceedings, SCO Group CEO Darl McBride still says pronouncements of the death of the Utah software company are premature, if not greatly exaggerated.
