The cheek of it, from a company who's latest and greatest is a shameless rip off of ideas in other OS beggars belief. I suspect this is all about FUD, however, sometimes if you make enough people believe a lie is true it becomes true.
I do hope that at least a few European legislators are looking at how this company is hoping to use the law to guarantee it's profits for ever, why innovate when you've got lawyers.
