Does this affect NetBSD in any way:

  SCO Group, a struggling company that has claimed its Unix
  intellectual property has been illegally incorporated into
  Linux, sent a letter to about 1,500 of the world's largest
  corporations warning they could be liable for using Linux.

  The move, announced Wednesday, dramatically widens the
  Lindon, Utah-based company's legal actions beyond its
  initial target, IBM, a SCO Unix licensee that SCO sued in
  March for more than $1 billion on allegations that include
  inappropriately using Unix trade secrets to improve Linux.
