There are still thugs, er, I mean companies, who go about threating
that "your business might burn down unless you pay us to protect
it". Only now they have the law to help them pursue their "business".
Basic problem for them (MS) is it's hard to bully a non-entity.

I recall a like scare several years back in which many were afraid
Linux would end due to "stolen" code in the kernel: SCO vs. the world
hasn't harmed Linux growth at all. Part of SCO's heretofore unsuccessful
bid to charge us all a fee for that so-called stolen code is because of
those who pay lawyers to fight against such bids.

If you happily employ Linux, I request that you too join the fight
against MS, and their ilk, by donating any amount you can at:
