"What could derail Linux? The biggest risks are intellectual-property
issues. SCO Group, holder of the original patents for Unix software
upon which Linux is based, has announced plans to form a licensing
division and hire superlawyer David Boies to press its claims against
sellers of Linux."

Since Linux contains no AT&T code, is this really likely to go
anywhere? Or are they talking about algorithm patents, rather
than actual implementation?
