As soon as they sell the first copy under this BS license they should be
hit with a barrage of suits for copyright infringement and for not
following the license terms!!!! At about a billion dollars per suit it
wouldn't take long to get everything that they could hope to get from
their actions.

As I see it, the only way that they could avoid copyright and license
infringement would be to rewrite everything; then they could be sued for
trademark infringement if they try to sell it as Linux!
