Don't laugh too hard. I designed a font that teaches the
alphabet to children. Back in 1984, I got a letter from a
big publishing company that said my font infringed on their
copyright because teachers could now re-create the same
pages they had in their books using "letters and numbers".
They said they had copyrighted the printed alphabet as we
currently draw it...

I had to spend some money to fight it, but I won. (obviously)

The point is, I HAD to spend money for an attorney, etc.
The publishing company was betting I wouldn't go to the trouble
of fighting... (or couldn't afford to fight). It was a
calculated risk, just like what SCO is doing with Linux, IBM, etc.
