I'm confused because this is about patents. You only need
the code in a copyright case.
We were sufficiently amazed during IBM-SCO. SCO accused IBM
of putting their precious IP into linux but couldn't
actually say what it was because it had to be there
somewhere and wanted every single bit of code IBM had ever
written so they could go on their fishing expedition.
Actually it was worse than that. SCO wanted IBM to say
what they had stolen because it was too arduous for them to
work it out for themselves.
I could be wrong IBM-SCO morphed so many times over the
years it is difficult to remember.
But anyway - this is about patents - getting back to where I
started - so why the big fuss about code. It's irrelevant.

Well 10 years isn't a bad number to start with, but isn't the lifespan of a
patent 25 yrs? I think if it was pushed and remanded that far at least 1 yr
at a time, without being allowable for back severence pay..... then the
courts would have to deal with what they are supposed to.... PUBLIC
SERVICE. Not corporate service.[ Reply to This | Parent | # ]
