Talk:USL v. BSDi
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article seems incomplete: it only goes to "pretrial"? glasperlenspiel 23:31, 14 Jun 2004 (UTC)
This article is incomplete. I used the court documents as sources, and stopped writing when I reached a point in the timeline of the case where documents were not available. I've tried to locate other sources, and I found many conflicting accounts of the case, including some of the events I've already written about.
I'd like to ask members of the *BSD projects (and at least one Apple employee I know of) to send me an account of what happened, and then try to sort out the details from the first-hand participants. They might not be allowed to talk about the case though.
I'm troubled that the information here might not be accurate much more than I am about the article being incomplete. jhf
The case settlement document has become available, and Groklaw is confirming its authenticity. This article could be finished and much improved, using that (or without it!) I've added this page to Pages needing attention. - jhf 05:57, 30 Nov 2004 (UTC)
Why does the article think that the settlement in Groklaw would not be genuine? No one has expressed that it would not be, so I think we could remo the doubts. Jannex 12:48, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
The introduction to the article is either confusing or in error, I don't know which: it states that NET-2 was released in 1991, and that BSDi got ahold of it, and ported it to the x86 architecture, but that AT&T sued BSDi in 1990 --- a year before the code was released? Is there a typo somewhere, or did part of the story get edited out unnecessarily? - Jon Lasser 6 Oct 2005
