NetApp faces Sun lawsuit loss • The Register

NetApp faces Sun lawsuit loss • The Register

That's right, last week solaris is Dead, and zfs and D-Trace were really relegated to nice to have's

Well, I think this win for SUN is huge

NetApp was unable to comment immediately on this story. Sun's win - if it is a win - and the PTO decisions potentially turn NetApp's WAFL IP into, well, IP waffle. Sun gets a welcome PR boost to its ZFS and open source credentials, leaving NetApp with a bloody nose and a 22-patent IT infringement case to deal with. Oh, and the economy is going down the tubes too. It isn't so sunny in Sunnyvale right now.


Gotta Love it.
