| The Canopy Group is an investment firm founded by Ray Noorda,
headquartered in Salt Lake City, Utah. It serves as the
parent company of various technology companies. One of its most well-known members is
the SCO Group. The company's much-criticized litigation has forced Canopy to try
to downplay its links to other owned entities, most obviously by removing its list of daughter companies from its website.
On or about December 9, 2004, CEO Ralph
Yarro, CFO Darcy Mott and corporate counsel Brent Christensen were removed from the
company by Noorda and other shareholders, and now stand accused, in essence, of having defrauded the company of many millions of
dollars. Yarro and the other executives sued for wrongful temination, and Canopy countersued the three men. On March 8, 2005, the day before initial hearings were
scheduled to begin, both parties negotiated a setlement out of court, ending the litigation. Further details can be found on the
Groklaw website originally established to follow the SCO-Linux controversies.
