There's also a breakdown of the alleged violations given:

* Linux kernel - 42 violations
* Linux graphical user interfaces - 65 violations
* Open Office - 45 violations
* Email apps - 15 violations
* Misc - 68 violations

I claim all the stuff at garage sales, pay me my commission.
I own all the stuff at the dump, I'll send you a user bill.
