Re: Caldera's lawsuit against Microsoft
From: Ian Jackson [EMAIL PROTECTED] I'm just posting here on what's really an irrelevant topic to say that I think it's a very good thing that someone is challenging Microsoft. The terms of the suit require MS to give _Caldera_ details of APIs. Not the general public, just Caldera. MS can still keep them under non-disclosure, and Caldera would have to honor the terms of an NDA approved by the court. So, I'm not sure this does a thing for people who write free software. Bruce

It could just be necessary to make the lawsuit plausible, but I'm not so sure. Brian ( [EMAIL PROTECTED] ) --- In theory, theory and practice are the same. In practice, they're not.
Caldera's lawsuit against Microsoft
I should think that you've all heard about this by now - if not go and look at comp.os.linux.announce. I'm just posting here on what's really an irrelevant topic to say that I think it's a very good thing that someone is challenging Microsoft. I mailed Lyle Ball at Caldera to tell him so, and he thanked me for my support and said: Please be vocal about your opinions on this case, especially on the forums. So, here I am in my favourite forum :-). If you want to discuss this somewhere here probably isn't it. Ian.
