Peak one to Peak two: "It IS viral and we is sick!"
Authored by: Anonymous on Friday, September 14 2012 @ 03:34 PM EDT
If TP did acknowledge wrong doing, they could say it is
'inconsequential' or allocate that to a paragraph of
'undiscovered wrongdoing on their part' and plead for
forgiveness and pay a token amount (relative to the entire
case) to FSF or other appropriate NPO in the FOSS realm.
This would be effectively spinning off the MOUNT issue as a
separate item, and apologizing by saying 'me bad'.

Doing that, I could see they could still proceed with a
'significant' suit against RH related to replicated file
system architecture.

In discovery, I wonder if TP AND RH will have to 'show the
code' to the court? RH won't mind, but TP might have an
issue. Especially if they ripped off much from FOSS
projects. In the old SCO vs LINUX codes, they did do line
by line code looking (as my memory serves, but that is
getting weaker). Somehow, I doubt it will gt to that.

All that being said, I have no clue how this will go.

If it's true then these guys need to be bankrupted and then staked like
vampires.
