I think the bigger issue for all of the M$SQL customers will be the new licensing fees they get stuck with...
It could be a huge problem for some companies, but appears to have no impact on most M$SQL server users. Just companies that base products on the server. Let's not start a panic. On the other hand, Timeline's case is YEARS old and they are going after treble damages from companies who just took Microsoft's word that there was nothing to worry about. Some people should be VERY nervous, indeed. R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
