Moglen offered no opinion on this question is
instructive. The folks they need to speak to are the Software Freedom Law Center.
However, option vesting will accelerate upon a change in control of the Company and
upon the declaration by the Board of the payment of a dividend to the common
stockholders of the Company. Let's share it together.
When he told the reseller, the man informed him
that the computer had been used in Bell Labs and it happened frequently that their
computers would show up with Unix code still on them.
They are an IP creator, not just a redistributor,
so there is no royalty required to be paid to anybody. Here's my suggestion in all
seriousness: drop the patent cooperation agreement and all its peculiar addenda. We
saw the same flaw in the DaimlerChrysler and AutoZone cases, a lack of research to
avoid bizarrely inappropriate allegations.
Like they're not already. The intended effect of
this agreement was to give our joint customers peace of mind that they have the full
support of the other company for their IT activities. He also indicated he thought
the Novell case should probably go first.
At least I hope some of you can attend. At this
point, as he points out, Sun is now the leader in donating software code to the
community. The parties stipulated to the change and asked for it, so that is the
reason. Think about whether that is the patent policy you really want, and if it
isn't, you need to change it.
Developers are free to pick up the code, and create
derivatives. Without any basis in fact. Nobody on that side seems to have cared much
about the end game.
Make your money on your own code, fair and
square.
They are taking a very close look at that right
now, and the hint is very likely yes, it could happen. Microsoft didn't have to deal
with them when it was building its business, but now it has them in hand to try to
bully Linux, the better mousetrap that endangers its monopoly, to death. Monopolies
don't get to do just whatever enters their pretty little head, you know. There are
other issues too. There are other issues too.
We are gratified that such a solution is now in
place. In neither case was he told to keep any of the code confidential or to return
it or destroy it. Give me money for my patent or I'll break your kneecaps. Without
royalty or obligation.
In this case, it prefers to reserve its vote until
after the air clears and everyone knows what issues are to be decided at trial. SCO
can't get the simplest facts right.
If IBM wins first, clearly that helps Novell's
case. |
