not realy news as IP issues and Linux are well documented, if
interested the following short article may be of interest

http://www.linuxdevcenter.com/pub/a/linux/2004/06/28/indemnification.html
- Looking for Indemnification While Linux Sales Double

It mentions that the US supreme court uses linux and they should know
a thing or two about the law.  It also mentions companies can insure
against IP issues.
