IBM holds several patents applicable to Linux (RCU, some JFS stuff) and nobody cares, even though they forced PostgreSQL guys to remove some stuff because of some patent IBM holds. But of course IBM (which was, btw, the first large company to use FUD as a marketing strategy, against Amdahl - oh, and there is the Platform Solutions case) is nice and Microsoft is evil.

Just because Amdahl coined the term, it doesn't think it's the first time.

I'm pretty sure that FUD itself is millennia older than computing...

That was one comment I posted way too quick, sorry about that.
