Im not so sure. there is a clear difference here. With SCO the majority opinion was that SCO are full of it and will loose. I don't think many people stopped using Linux as a result of the suit. In contrast I can clearly envision a vendor deciding against building an Android based phone in fear of future royalty payments etc.
