Right, it was SCO's complaint that IBM illegally incorporated some of 
SCO's Unix intellectual property into their Linux.  If they win 
(doubtful), it could cascade into other Linux/Unix derivatives because 
organizations respond to the threat of litigation, and no one enjoys 
litigation.  Hell, they would have a better chance using DCMA!  Even 
Red Hat didn't post details of its own system updates to US because of 
DCMA!
