If you design a motor to run a wiper balde, and I change the design just enough it ain't yours I made. Patents are just plans to be improved upon. There is a start point on all distro's of Linux, it was originally based on UNIX.... but it has evolved.

It is like MS being sued all the time by SUN... earlier this year when SUN again went whining about IE, on 2 different points, 1. That MS didn't include JAVA in IE 6 but MS put the info how to download it from SUN..... and that IE was dominating the market.... first time I heard MS finally come out and say....

"It is not the job of MicroSoft to make sure that SUN keeps their internet browser up to date."

SUN never has, AOL started off with NetScape, then SUN decided they were tired of supplying it free. SUN wanted 11 dollars per CD shipped and 11 dollars for all users up to the point. That would have been hundreds of millions. AOL went shopping MS said here we will give you IE free. And SUN lost the market, not because MS is dominate, but for a bad business decision. And SUN sat around like liberals do now, not updating NetScape and waiting around for the big payday from MS lawsuits.

LINUX is free because it is a USER OS. The source is there to be tweaked. No one can get it back. The icebox door is open, and all the Penguins are running AMOK. Go little birds, waddle on.

Sorry, not really sure what you are getting at, SUN never had control of Netscape, at least not that I was ever aware of, which means they probably didn't.
