The SCO lawsuit was a joke and everyone knew it. A bare shell of a company, a mere coat rack they could hang a lawsuit on, was going up against IBM with evidence it wouldn't even release for an embarrassingly long period of time, and when it did, it was laughed out of Slashdot and Groklaw. Microsoft really didn't get its money's worth out of that little venture. As for lawsuits against GNU, I don't know of any off the top of my head. Can you name one?
