Technology News: Commentary: Open Source: Chicken Little and Age-Appropriate Explanations

Technology News: Commentary: Open Source: Chicken Little and Age-Appropriate Explanations: "Nearly ten years later, very few intellectual property lawsuits have actually been filed relating to open source. Roughly, the scorecard looks like this:

* Trademark infringement suits: 1 (MySQL-NuSphere)
* Copyright infringement suits: 1/2 (SCO, after modifying the complaint)
* Trade secret infringement suits: 1/2 (SCO, original complaint)
* Patent infringement suits: 0

The sky did not fall."
