Will it really? IBM's market cap is 150 billion right now (give or take a few). Two years ago it was a bit more (200-250 perhaps), and back then they invested one billion in Linux (or so they claimed). Linux is one of their many sources of income... if at all, that is. Is IBM profiting from Linux? Maybe. Does their bussiness depend on Linux? No way. How hard would an injunction hit IBM? Pretty probably. Would it be so bad to prevent a judge from placing that injunction? Dunno, but I don't dare say it would be bad enough. Do feel free to enlighten me in this matter, please.
