Plenty, actually. It told all the Unix types what to avoid when moving
into Linux. It why all the main Unix players that have embraced open
source (with the notable exception of Sun) have played nicely by the
Linux community, tend to use GPL rather than BSD type licenses for their
projects, and (in the case of IBM and HP) don't even make their own
distributions.
