What a chilling development, especially on the heels of IBM's refusal to
renew the FLEX-ES patent licenses. Soon the z9 BC will be the only
entry-level machine available for commercial use. Unless IBM and PSI reach
a settlement, this lawsuit puts PSI out of business (unless the venture
capitalists can keep it afloat for the 10 years it will take to decide the
patent lawsuit). What a mess. Any chance we'd ever see a personal license
for z/OS probably just vanished.
