I hadn't heard about the lawsuit anywhere else in the press. It's always good for a reporter to get the scoop.

One thing that annoys me is that people are sort of saying the Lineo case is like the SCO case and the subsequent FUD attack. In the SCO case, SCO released all the source under the GPL and you can still download it from their website. That makes the code perfectly legal to distribute under the GPL. To me the fact that MontaVista had a case where SCO is just lying is the major difference between the two cases.
