As some comments have already pointed out, this will only be valid for portions of Linux distributed under the new version of the license. For example, possibly not the kernel. Also there remains the rather troubling legal issue of whether Microsoft should have known that they'd be giving away their patent protection rights when they signed the contract. The judge really can interpret this anyway he wants. Note: I'm not a lawyer. I've been involved in lawsuits where unintended consequences were involved, and I've been shocked at the judges' interpretations. Jeff -- Jeff Lasman, Nobaloney Internet Services P.O.
