If apple want to attack the linux kernel directly then bring it on. The kernel has powerful friends these days like IBM, OIN, and erm, well, pretty much everybody. I'd like to think that any serious attack would be about as good for Apple as it was for SCO and Blackboard. Obviously a patent-based attack would be far less stupid than SCO's copyright-based attack, but ultimately we can remove anything which is found to be infringing, and the exposure of the madness inherent in the system can only do us good.
