No, it does not. The problem with litigations and lawers is that it's impossible to give general answer.

- Can I be sued over this ?
- Sure - it does not even matter what this actually is (see SCO).
- Ok, let's reprase: how high are the risks for my business ?
- Oh, that's different thing - let' talk about your business...

Journalists are not lawyers - and for good reason: they need broad brush and there are not broad brush as far as litigation is concerned...
