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.'"
Per my subject-line above, let's use the words of a respected other (Mr. Bruce Perens) to show more of how BIG MONEY OPERATES, albeit online:
"I have been offered the online-perception-management services I'm talking about while managing at HP and Sourcelabs. If you are not aware of companys concern for their online perception and what they do about it, and won't take my word for it, there isn't much point in arguing about it with you." - by Bruce Perens (3872)

Does whoever is downmodding me *THINK* they're fooling anyone here? If the above quote's NOT enough?? Here's more along those lines & from the same very respected fellow in the *NIX & Open Source world on that same account & as to "how things are done" by "BIG MONEY" to try to snow others & cover up their bullshit while they try to mess with others & from that very same exchange:
"It just takes one Ubuntu sympathizer or PR flack to minus-moderate any comment. Unfortunately, once PR agencies and so on started paying people to moderate online communities, and to have hundreds of accounts each, things changed." - by Bruce Perens (3872) on Friday July 30, @03:55PM (#33089192) Homepage Journal

P.S.=> He's only showing us all how these pricks operate... they infest forums like these, make 100's of bogus alternate registered accounts (to get "mod points" for down moderating others who show them for who & what they really are... too bad anyone "in the know" (like Mr. Perens) know their tricks, as do I!)... apk
