What You Should Do to Use Linux Safely

MINIMIZE DEPLOYMENT
Limit Linux use in critical spots until the court battle is resolved.

GET SUPPORT
If you plan to deploy Linux with hardware giants such as IBM or Dell, make sure you have a comprehensive support contract.

CALL LEGAL
Check with your legal department to explore alternative open-source code. An IBM settlement won't indemnify enterprises.

RECALCULATE
Factor potential licensing expenses into your cost estimates when considering a Linux rollout.
