Darl McBride's position of CEO and President at The SCO Group has been terminated, which could halt the drawn-out legal campaign against Linux.

The SCO Group has been appointed a nanny by the bankruptcy courts after petitioning to be allowed to sell its Unix assets to exit Chapter 11 and continue its litigation.

The ailing SCO company has been ordered to cease its vexatious lawsuits and pay Novell over $2.54 million after falsely accusing the company of using its UNIX IP to better Linux.
