The article states that their legal fight has been a total failure. I would beg to differ if you considering where the money to put up a fight came from (Microsoft). I would guess that there were a number of large companies with even larger bureaucracies that passed on Linux because of this legal fight.
Most individual users and small businesses would not have given this a 2nd thought. I think this is geared at government, defense, banking, and insurance sectors. The IT staff could be screaming for Linux, but if some CTO in the main office gets word of any possibility for legal trouble, they would reject it. Why change what already appears to work and take on added risk?
It's sad, but I think this legal battle has achieved its goal.
