James,
I agree, if Caldera had gone after these 'issues' from the start they might have a case. If I am not mistaken, for a patent one must challenge any and all infringements or your rights are pretty much not existent. With all the $$$ that companies like IBM have in LINUX, it would not surprise me if the figure it is cheaper to buy Caldera outright, rather than litigate , and turn around and close the doors after the make ALL THE CODE available for GUN public lisc. I mean the good will alone and savings of 'fear of extra charges' to their customers would be worth millions.
