I don't see people afraid of using IBM products... or installing
ATI/NVIDIA drivers... or installing Norton Antivirus...actually, quite a
lot of people and big corporations use IBM software on their ATI
videocard, while protected by NAV.
Those corporations have the money to defend the customers in the event
of a SCO type lawsuit. Remember SCO sued Delmar-Chrysler and Autozone
for migrating to Linux from Sco OpenServer. The autozone deal was a
Redhat customer. I assure you any code they write for the Linux kernel
fails under our proposed standard for clean-room reverse enginering if
they did get any ideas from Unix.
