Big Blue Fires Back

The soap opera continues: note the use of Big Blue's patent portfolio against the upstarts. This is signifigent, fighting claims of IP thievery with claims of IP thievery ....

Big Blue files counterclaims against SCO. IBM argues that the open-source General Public License negates SCO's proprietary claims and that its antagonist's software violates four IBM patents. [CNET News.com]

Notes: If you put a <mailto:> link in the URL field your address will not be mangled: this could be a bad idea as your email address could be easily harvested by bots designed for SPAM. The comments field should now format correctly for line feeds and carriage returns: when you hit the 'Enter' or 'Return' keys in your comment it should break to a new line. The text should wrap cleanly. Please let me know if it doesn't. No HTML tags will pass through - entering links seems to be the main cause of comment SPAM. Also, please be sure that Javascript is enabled in your browser before attempting to post a writeback. Sorry for any inconvenience, but this really helps cut down on the amount of comment SPAM I have to deal with.
