PARK RIDGE, Ill. - A decision by eight consumer giants, most of them
Japanese, to throw their support behind Linux has the chief executive
officer of SCO Group on the move. Darl McBride, whose company recently
launched a legal attack on Linux for alleged patent infringements, will
go to Japan this week in an attempt to prove his point with some of the
manufacturers that came together last week as the CE Linux Forum (CELF).

McBride, who is fluent in Japanese, will visit with several founding
members to show them code samples in which the Linux open-source
operating system allegedly violates SCO's Unix patents, said an SCO
spokesman.

"The legal maneuverings caused an uproar in the open-source community, to
the point where some of the Linux faithful allegedly peppered SCO
executives with threats of violence."
