Will you get sued for using Linux?

good article: http://news.com.com/An+open-source+c...3-5221365.html

They already started targeting corporations for the use of Linux. Such as SCO suing AutoZone.
SCO is not the only company who can make patent claims against open source operating systems. There are tons of other industry giant software companies.

This can get much worse than the Acacia issue if you think about it.

SCO isn't going to affect anything. Everything they've taken to court has been thrown out so far.

SCO still has some super financial backing. Remember what EV1.net did?
