got a list?
of these legal and security problems? can you explain why these problems make linux a worse choice than other competitors?
you can feign your loyalty to BSD all you like, but even BSD is not as good a choice for these companies.. want to know why? cause IBM isn't supporting BSD. HP isn't suporting BSD. SUn isn't supporting BSD... as great a system as BSD is, companies want a name they can trust for support issues.
