In contrast to the positioning by NetApp, Sun didn't start the patent
fight.  It was started by StorageTek, well prior to Sun's acquisition of
them.  We inherited the in-flight fight, and I don't think we wound up
doing much with it.  I agree Sun should have just formally dropped the
suit, but nobody asked me.  :)

And before anyone asks, I don't know any more about all of this than
what's been reported online.
