The easy way to stop that nonsense is when it is proven that the case is a
crock, is to make the losers in the case pay the winner's legal fees
multiplied by a factor of oh, I don't know, 10 sounds good, that will stop
the frivilous lawsuits.

Subject: Re: CA Sues Rocket Software
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.
