Back then, the SuSE and IBM salespeople and consultants did a great job to convince the officials of the city of Munich of the benefits of Linux. For quite some time, it looked as if they'd won that contract. But then, the city of Munich decided to make their own Linux distribution based on Debian.
Kudos to Suse and IBM for making the sale and commiserations on not receiving the direct benefits :( Hopefully it has made future sales easier. I gather LiMux does use KDE though :)
So even if that convoluted plot worked (remember, this is not the US where you can sue everbody for whatever insane reason and expect to wind insane amounts of money), try pulling that stunt on Debian...
Actually I think Europe is better. It's not a question of sueing for damages, it's enforcing rights under equal-opportunity employment laws. In the UK one would use the Disability Discrimination Act, I believe. But I can't believe the TUV certification given to LiMux won't already require compliance with applicable legislation.
P.S. I am all in favour of getting all the functionality of KDE 3.x back into KDE 4.x.
And personally I don't care :P I currently run Gnome and Icewm and will probably move everything to xfce :) But I do think accessibility should have a much higher priority and awareness than it currently has.
