Microsoft
Microsoft is going to court to try to force every Linux user to pay them royalties. I hate software patents.
Update: Matt pointed out that Fortune Magazine, the article's source, got some facts wrong. Microsoft has been claiming this for a long time, and seem as unlikely to be able to do anything about it now as they ever have been. Of course, they still maintain the claim that every Linux user owes them money. Thanks, Matt!
