IBM's and RedHat's filings are certainly interesting. But here is a question I have not seen addressed:

Are we talking about something that could see quick legal action or is all this stuff that won't be heard in court until sometime in 2005 and may be resolved by sometime in 2007?

It makes a difference.

Anyone have any insights?

IBM will no doubt go for the jugular, with an application for a preliminary injunction.
