Pump and Dump?
Thursday, August 14th, 2003Bloomberg news reports that SCO Group execs are dumping shares. According to CNET news the company has just scored it’s first licencing deal.
Why would executives in what appears to be a growing company be selling off shares?
For those unfamiliar with the situation, I will summarize. The SCO Group has claimed that proprietary code that it purchased is wrapped up in nearly every Linux distribution available, and have filed lawsuits. They have declined to identify any of the code.
They then set the price for a Linux licence at $1400. According to SCO, every Linux user would be subject to this licencing fee, or would be infringing on SCO’s intellectual property.
Now SCO claims that they have secured their first licencing deal with a Fortune 500 company. Details of the agreement have not been released, and SCO has declined to identify the company.
In an effort to be “fair and balanced”, this link attempts to explain why the shares are being sold.
Be careful using “fair and balanced”…you might get sued.
They’re dumping their shares because they finally realized that they’re trying to enfore intellectual property and licensing rights on open-source code software..
Not that i’m as informed about this as i’d like to be, but their whole ’settle this through the courts’ strategy looks like it’s doomed to fail.
Sorry, this is non-news. It’s called “reloading,” and is strictly a way to cover tax liability. This management group probably has received more options this year which will make their net stakes about the same.
Chalk it up to tax-driven behavior rather than an insider view of the corporation’s future.
