LinuxCon: Keeping open source openLinuxCon: Keeping open source openPosted Sep 24, 2009 14:39 UTC (Thu) by wookey (subscriber, #5501)In reply to: LinuxCon: Keeping open source open by epa Parent article: LinuxCon: Keeping open source open
That coment is the only thing I've seen suggesting that Tomtom fired first. I find it very hard to believe (having contracted once for TomTom a few years ago and found them a very sound outfit, with really good technical people still at board level). Groklaw seems more likely to be right than random slashdot comments:

LinuxCon: Keeping open source open Posted Sep 24, 2009 15:33 UTC (Thu) by epa (subscriber, #39769) [Link] I didn't see anything in that Groklaw article saying that Microsoft's lawsuit wasn't in response to a patent threat from TomTom. (Not that it is Groklaw's job to refute every random theory floating around, but I don't see how the article you linked to is relevant here.)You are most likely right about TomTom as a company; I knew they had fought Garmin in court but it appears that was defensive (see here for example).
