From ZD Net (blogs.zdnet.com):
"What parts of Microsoft's intellectual property portfolio might certain Linux distributions be disrespecting? Perhaps the Linux kernel itself is infringing on core parts of Windows or MS-DOS. Or maybe SAMBA — a utility that amongst other things can make a Linux machine look like a Microsoft file and print server (I use it for that here at my house) — infringes on Microsoft's SMB protocol (I've heard but not confirmed that IBM's 500 patent gift to the open source community may have covered SAMBA's back)."by David Berlind @ 6:17 am Fri, Nov 17, 2006 |

Parts of Windows work well, surely that infringes on the Gnu/Linux "Look and Feel"? |

Well the SCO case (which MS backed with a few million) is a dead duck so the Novel/MS alliance is the next attack vector. |
