i concur. the case has grown out of a suit between Intel and Intergraph,
in which Intel refused to let Intergraph see technical documents because
they weren't playing ball the way Intel thought they should. the court
decided that without those documents, Intergraph could not remain
competetive, nor could Intergraph develop a viable competetive technology
without access to the same documents.
yes, Intel allows some companies to compete in certain market sectors.
but they've also tried to lock companies out of the market entirely by
witholding information, and the courts don't like that.
