[TUHS] RIP Darl McBride former CEO of SCO

[Wesley Parish]

I've just checked, and ibiblio has retained the Groklaw blog, static 
now, over the past few years. It was perhaps the best dissection of the

though it seems that only the last pages have in fact made it to 
ibiblio. You may have to browse the Wayback Machine for the earlier ones.
