I fear that having 56 billion on your savings account excludes the possibility to be a bully, pretty much... You just buy 'out' anything more or less negative. (I know I wouldn't say no to getting offered 20 million to settle.)
This Lindows sellout will cost them 2 days of interest, or something down that line.
And here I am, working my ass off, not earning anything over the 16000 euro a year mark (with taxes).
I find this name-sue-ing idiocy rather ridiculous and morally incorrect.
I also think this 20 million is not very good for the further development of linux distributions. The problem with big money entering people's lives is that it is contaminating the free software movement with all sorts of bitter and smelly 'deals'.
Indeed, I'm now considering building my own 'theme' (Lindows is nothing more than that, in my opinion) as well (out of existing free ones), and name it Mirosoft, or Nicrosoft, or Mikrozoft, or Winnows, Linknows o.s.
Really, how hard can it be?
