So what if I write free software that interfaces with Lego's computerize offerings ? Should I expect a possible lawsuit ?

This KAM case should be fought with all the might of the Open Source community. It can set a very dangerous trend.

Would it be possible to involve somehow a couple of big guns in there ? Is it possible to interest IBM in this ? OK, could it be just possible to scare these KAM people and optionaly make them loose a good amount of cash ?

These KAM blokes even had the nerve to ask for all the e-mails and correspondance from Jacobsen. What do they think they are ?
