Xinuos sues IBM

A company called Xinuos has announced a lawsuit against IBM and Red Hat that has a familiar echo to it. "Xinuos alleges that the IBM and Red Hat conspiracy has harmed the open-source community and specifically Xinuos’ OpenServer 10 product, which is based on FreeBSD, an open-source UNIX-based operating system and alternative to Red Hat’s Linux-based open-source operating system, RHEL. 'By dominating the Unix/Linux server operating system market, competing open-source operating systems, like our FreeBSD-based OpenServer 10, have been pushed out of the market.'" The full text of the suit [PDF] is available for those wanting the details.
