The problem here is that CA has deservedly gained a reputation for
being litigious even when they had absolutely no case. I had signed
UCC contracts they refused to recognize, and they threatened to sue
the company I was with over us "stealing" their software. Like an
insurance case, our attorneys told me how much our outside counsel
would cost, and I should settle for anything up to that amount. Of
course, I did. Unfortunately, this type of suit by CA will be suspect
because of incidents like these, regardless of whether this situation
is an actual theft of code or not.

If I may .. especially in light of present world 'companies' and or
the professional world as we (or definitely ... I) know it .. CA might
have gained a poor reputation with the 'user' (e.g. client) community
... but that said ... in all honesty ... they did treat us (e.g. the
employees) well. A fine line perhaps but .. something to think about.
Please note that I am not in any way defending CA .... moreso .. trying
to bring a slightly different viewpoint that 'we' (most all) seem to
have overlooked....
I do not work for Rocket either .... but am fortunate enough to know a
few brilliant people that do work there ...
Personally ... I think that this is just another one of those games
played by the infamous 'paper pushers' that really have nothing better
to do !!. No .. I do not just mean lawyers either !!.
