Sounds like another SCO case, only MS does not have the guts to go after IBM and instead is going to go after a small, hapless company that does not have the means to defend itself against such a behemouth
Before SCO there was Corel. I bought a Corel Linux factory installed system in 2001.
Then in 2002 Microsoft did an investment in Corel to get them out of the un*x bussiness. They have a war chest of patents no question M$ could crush Linux if
it was not for the equalily massive war chest of patents IBM has. So untill you here
about a M$ & IBM deal these investments are just to get the companies to di-vest in
the un*x bussiness.
