For background to this article, first read http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/61/32233.html.

In a surprise press conference today, SCO's Darryl McBride announced that SCO is suing SCO .

McBride appeared at the conference with two baseball caps, one blue and one red. He stated that, as head of SCO, he would be speaking for both sides of the suit, so to keep everyone clear as to his position, he would be changing hats depending upon which side of SCO he was representing. When wearing a blue hat, he would be representing the good SCO (the suer), and the red one when representing the bad SCO (the suee).

With a blue hat on, McBride denounced those evil elements within SCO who continued to steal SCO's property by distributing OpenLinux 3.1.1 via FTP, even after being warned by SCO's lawyers about IP issues in its tainted 2.4 kernel. He then put on a red hat and bitterly denounced those elements within SCO who were going against the spirit of the GPL and trying to extort money by selling a bogus license to those Linux users who had downloaded OpenLinux thinking that they could use it with worry.

As the conference went on, the arguments between the two sides became more and more acrimonious, and McBride became more and more confused as to which side he was representing. He ultimately got into such an argument that he was unable to keep track of which hat he was, wearing, at times, wearing one cap, or both, or neither.

The conference ended when he fired himself, rehired himself, and then fired himself again.
