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

* Email apps - 15 violations
* Misc - 68 violations

So I guess I can claim to own all the cars that I do not make.
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.


If Microsoft can do it, so can I.


Ya once again they are making blanket claims about patent infringement. I want to see the proof though. Show in the kernel the lines that are yours etc. :)

Personally I think you have a better chance with owning the crap at the dump then they do with Linux but they are persistent.
The last investigation I saw proved a lot of the dates on microsoft code

was often listed well after it was actually written , not that I would

suggest mickysoft would steal code and charge dreadfully for crook

operating systems .
