CA Sues Over DB2 Migration Tool
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.'"

ISI Software: Here's one.
Public: That'll be ninepence.
CA: I'm not dead.
Public: What?
ISI Software: Nothing. There's your ninepence.
CA: I'm not dead.
Public: 'Ere, he says he's not dead.
ISI Software: Yes he is.
CA: I'm not.
Public: He isn't.
ISI Software: Well, he will be soon, he's very ill.
CA: I'm getting better.
ISI Software: No you're not, you'll be stone dead in a moment.
Public: Well, I can't take him like that. It's against regulations.
CA: I don't want to go on the cart.
ISI Software: Oh, don't be such a baby.
Public: I can't take him.
CA: I feel fine.
ISI Software: Oh, do me a favor.
Public: I can't.
ISI Software: Well, can you hang around for a couple of minutes? He won't be long.
Public: I promised I'd be at SCO. They've lost everything.
ISI Software: Well, when's your next round?
Public: Thursday.
CA: I think I'll go for a walk.
ISI Software: You're not fooling anyone, you know. Isn't there anything you could do?
CA: I feel happy. I feel happy.
[Public glances up and down the street furtively, then silences the CA with his a whack of his club]
ISI Software: Ah, thank you very much.
Public: Not at all. See you on Thursday.
ISI Software: Right.
