SALT LAKE CITY — When Utah technology executive Darl McBride sniffs Linux, the free computer operating system, he picks up a scent of Unix, a long-established business system he maintains made Linux sturdy and reliable.
McBride is chief executive of The SCO Group, which acquired rights to Unix through a series of corporate acquisitions and mergers. SCO sued IBM for dumping allegedly confidential Unix code into Linux and sued DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone for deploying Linux systems without an SCO license.
