SUN sues M

(1/1)

Has anyone read or heard about this? I have a link to this but it

jtpenrod:
See The Register for an article about this (and it is in English       :D      )

Although it seems a bit rediculous. First Sun sues M$ to get them to stop using Java. Then M$ stops offering an obsolete version of the JVM, 'cause they agreed not to offer the more up-to-date versions as part of the previous suit. Now Sun sues M$ for not offering Java...

Only a lawyer could make sense of that    :D

Calum:

quote:Sun is accusing Microsoft of fragmenting the Java platform and flooding the market with incompatible Java Runtime Environments. For extras, there's also a charge that Redmond violated Sun's copyright in distributing of an unlicensed implementation of the Java Runtime Environment.
--- End quote ---

This accusation would seem to be in keeping with the M$ business ethic though...
