Patent hit - MS goes after Linux - FreeBSD ?

Hi,
this should not be ignored; sooner or later things will get nasty ...

The sooner FreeBSD gets rid of Linux-based software (apps, tools) in its ports,
the better. The FB Foundation and Core Team should enact a plan.
This should actually happen regardless of MS in the shadows and validity of
their claims.
