Just ask folks like AutoZone or DaimlerChrysler how much it cost to use
Linux when they were sued by SCO and had to defend themselves. Sure,
they prevailed, but I bet tens of thousands of dollars were spent on
litigation.

Sure.  But compare that to the millions they would have spent using SCO... :-)

[1]Yes, I realize AutoZone may have been paying for their Linux distro...
