Maybe they don't get it

Maybe they don' t get it. This is just business to them, but a lot of people have put in a lot of time and effort into FOSS and excuse them if they take it personally. RedHat and Novell may settle, but I think they would find other sources of funding if they chose to fight it. Do you think that Acacia is going to find other sources of funding to pursue this lawsuit? Maybe they should consider it from a business perspective. there may be a whole lot more money out there to fight them than they think. I've personally saved over $2000 dollars easily over the last 5 years using OS software. You don't think I wouldn't send a couple of hundred in a heartbeat to help fund a fight against a crappy lawsuit.
I though you're nobody until you get sued. Since Balmer talked smack both NOVL and RHT are up. Financial world seems to be really worried about the impact.
