On the other hand, Timeline's case is YEARS old and they are going after treble damages from companies who just took Microsoft's word that there was nothing to worry about. Some people should be VERY nervous, indeed.
Thats the part that worries me greatly. This general idea may apply to a lot of other cases. The way I read the news story, you can not rely on your vendor to provide you with legally licensed software. Do you have to check for each software (firmware?) component you buy? How do you ever find out which licensed components are included? -- -------------------------------------------------------------------- jullrich@euclidian.com Collaborative Intrusion Detection join http://www.dshield.org
