McBride successfully sued Microsoft, and he successfully sued Ikon for
several million dollars while he was working for them.  He may be looking
at the history books and thinking that this may be his biggest challenge

However it turns out, the damage is already starting to be felt as some IT
departments are starting to veer away from Linux because of potential IP
problems.  This is gonna get worse before it gets better.
