Well it's a moot point.  I can see we all basically agree on what's RIGHT
but it all comes down to how much $ M$ wants to spend pursuing a lawsuit.  I
frankly don't see them doing this for reasons already stated.

What is ROS prepared to do in such an event?  Or is it something you really
aren't concerned with right now? Just curious.

I am sure that Microsoft believes they have hundreds of patents on
technology in the
NT operating system.  It does not matter than those patents are bogus, one
would
have to defend oneself against them all the same and expend scarce
resources doing
so.
