CA Sues Over DB2 Migration Tool

Posted by Soulskill on from the not-the-best-customer-retention-plan dept.

aesoteric writes "Software giant CA has filed suit against an Australian software developer over a program that allegedly enabled companies to migrate off CA database platforms onto IBM DB2. It claimed the software 'reproduced' portions of confidential source and object codes without permission and deprived CA of license fees. CA also disputed claims that its database platform was 'dying.'"

    CA is where terminal software goes to die
    The business model is:
    1) Buy products that are circling the drain
    2) Flog said products to the clueless
    3) Promise a big party at CA World
    4) PROFIT!!!

    We have assloads of CA shiteware, our clueless managers just love going to CA World every year. Last year's keynote was that Avatar guy, w00t!
