Oracle, NetApp Drop ZFS Patent Suit

Posted by Soulskill on Friday September 10, 2010 @12:46AM from the there-will-be-peace-in-our-time dept.

An anonymous reader writes "It seems Oracle and NetApp have kissed and made up over the ZFS patent lawsuit. Before Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems, NetApp sued Sun claiming ZFS infringed on its patents. Sun later sued NetApp back. From today, all is forgotten and Oracle and NetApp are friends. NetApp CEO Tom Georgens even said the two companies have shared a 'common vision' focused on providing solutions that reduce IT cost and complexity. Both companies now want collaboration between them to continue."

quote is from a movie. by disney. that disney self-bans (you cannot see that movie or rent it in the US).
you'd have to visit some kind of bay-like location in order to really see the reference.
it actually was a good movie and should not have been banned. sigh. disney, you suck in so many ways, these days.
