LANCOR v. OLPC Case Continues In Nigerian Court

Posted by timothy on from the get-your-passport-and-account-numbers dept.

drewmoney writes "According to an article on Groklaw: It's begun in a Nigerian court. LANCOR has actually done it. Guess what the Nigerian keyboard makers want from the One Laptop Per Child charitable organization trying to make the world a better place? $20 million dollars in 'damages,' and an injunction blocking OLPC from distribution in Nigeria."

      French spelling seems to be every bit as arbitrary as English spelling.


      I've heard that French used to be pronounced the way it's now spelled. As the language shifted, scribes insisted on keeping the old spelling because they were paid by the letter. Don't know if it's true or not, but considering other things I know about France, I wouldn't be surprised.
