A while back ago Sun Microsystems settled a lawsuit with Microsoft, where Microsoft was using Suns Proprietary Java software in Microsofts Virtual Machine. I remember there was a out of court settlement on that, which rusulted in money and Microsoft was to discontinue Using Suns Proprietary Software!


But I came accross a new twist to that story. Apearantly Kodac had proprietary rights to java software as well and has setteled out of court for $92 Mill from Sun Microsystems. Hmmm

Will the real Java software Proprietor Please Stand Up!
