The result of that was that Cisco's big "Strategic investment in Linux" ended. Cisco had brought me in to consult on that, their plans to base every single new product on Linux, and schedule a week of license auditing and publication work between the time they got a golden master image and the time it actually went to manufacturing. It was an aggressive, "bet the company on Linux" move, and the week the suit was filed it went from "our first project using this new process will be the in-development MediaHub" to "our corporate use of Linux at all 'is under review'". A few weeks later I was told the CTO who had been behind the big Linux push was "spending more time with his family" or some such (never did get the details). And then a few months later, the entire Linksys division was reorganized out of existence (at the end of August). The brand name still exists, but the engineers I knew have all left the company (rather than be reassigned to work on non-Linux projects).
