I think it smells a bit like a SCO-case.

It's interesting to see which open source companies that gets sued. Quite interesting.

Wait until open source companies start suing other open source companies. ;) The code might be open, but the business is still a business.

We'll see. Some licenses handle such matters, other licenses don't.

But if you have complied with the license(s) in a safe manner you'll be on the safe side. The question here is: How do you comply in a safe manner? Aahh.. lawyers... the plague of humanity...
