Hi List
There is also an issue like this running against SuSE by this "Freiherr". 
You can read about at http://heise.de/newsticker/data/odi-07.01.02-000/ 
(german).
This "Lawyer" tells that SuSE is hurting the Rights of www.crayon.de by 
setting a Link to the Program Krayon in the KOfiice-Menu of their 
Distribution. I've tried to reach the www.crayon.de Company under their 
Telephone-Number: (+49) 431 / 24 12 47 . But without any Success.

I think it is highly recommended to stop this "Lawyer" at his Methode of 
"making millions, while doing nothing".
He seems to be Online 'round the clock' on the Heise-Forum, so I think he has 
nothing else to do.

It is time to so something, to change laws in a way, that this kind of people 
cannot have success as a "Wegelagerer" (sorry don't know the english word).
It is time to start a campaign.
