Not just RackSpace...Not just RackSpace...Posted Sep 18, 2012 18:15 UTC (Tue) by corbet (editor, #1)In reply to: Not just RackSpace... by mjw Parent article: Rackspace sued for hosting GitHub Wow, that is quite the list. They seem to have gone out of their way to create a natural coalition of the richest companies in the field, all with a common interest in stomping them flat. I wonder if this is going to be a SCO-style clown show?

I guess the only way anyone in their right mind could possible sue IBM for patent infringement is if they are a non practicing entity. Then again who knows, maybe IBM does have a patent somewhere covering the use of patents to sue other patent holders or something equally asinine.

Oddly enough, they didn't... They left out EMC and all the other high-end de-dupe vendors. I'm left wondering if they've licensed the patents or simply have enough of their own related portfolios to defend in kind.

Never mind rich. These clowns have arrogance to claim they "invented" all this stuff right to the face of massive companies, some of which employ thousands of programmers. They are essentially saying that all those folks are stupid because they couldn't see their great "inventions" (which are most likely just trivial shit, like all the rest of the software patents).
Amazing...
