In response to the Anonymous feedback, Struan Robertson said that it is "unlikely for the end user to be sued", although he pointed out that it was possible, as could be seen from the SCO lawsuit. The SCO lawsuit took place and therefore shows that it is possible.

However, I do agree that the SCO lawsuit was put on hold so to clarify the issue I have changed the article from:

"Struan Robertson, a lawyer with law firm Masons, agreed it is unlikely for the end user to be sued, but is possible -- as was seen when SCO Group sued DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone for using Linux."

To:

"Struan Robertson, a lawyer with law firm Masons, agreed it is unlikely for the end user to be sued, but is possible -- as was seen when SCO Group attempted to sue DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone for using Linux."

Thank you for your feedback.
