"Microsoft has claimed since 2007 that more than 235 of its patents are 
violated by the open source operating system Linux, while critics claim 
Redmond has a cynical eye on the project as another source of revenue."

Between the "Android Tax" and this, indemnification licensing appears to 
be the only way to protect linux users from themselves.

Oracle Linux Network : $119 per system, per year.
RedHat Desktop : $49 per system, per year (minimum).
RedHat Server  : $349 per system, per year (minimum).
