Trying very hard to understand all of this.

Bottom line, the way I'm reading all of this, is that Microsoft is laying claim to patents for code that is within Linux, without ever being specific about what exact code that might be...and is trying by any means to muscle in on controlling Linux over the long haul. Am I close?

If so, sounds like a replay of the SCO effort....I'm confused also....
