They will contend that other versions of Windows are not covered by this case (specifically 2000 and XP). Or they will release just enough of the source code to prove their point and pull 95, 98, and ME from the market in retaliation claiming they can't keep selling them since the released information will be a help to malicious virus programmers everywhere. Result... corporate Windows users that had been running 9x are forced to upgrade to XP Professional (at $200-$300 a seat) or get a visit from the BSA for using expired licenses.
