If you're looking for an example on how to make a living by litigation ("read
my lips -- we're not a litigation company") and have industry monopoly pump 
you with funds behind the scenes (because you're delaying the inevitable somewhat: 
you can't compete with free software if you're a business), have a look at SCO.

It's a nasty business. They seem to balk at whacking people, though, thanks a
bunch for that, I guess.
