Verily I say unto thee, that Linonut spake thusly:
> * Tim Smith peremptorily fired off this memo:
>> IBM enforces its patents.

> Which open-source outfit have they enforced them against?
Obviously Smith has difficulty understanding the word "threat".
How many patents has IBM claimed that Linux "infringes"?
How many Linux vendors has IBM "persuaded" to join a protection racket?
How many Linux vendors has IBM sabotaged by bribing Nigerians to wipe
Linux from laptops and replace it with Windows?
Like I said, Microsoft is clearly a threat, IBM is not.
