Now I've heard this kind of veiled threat before; you know the, "you can't use Linux as you'll have to pay damages for your patent infringements", argument. In the past I've always thought it was just FUD. This is the first time I've heard someone so far up the food chain, as it were, say it. Does anyone know if there is any mileage in this?
