2007-10-25 Who Started NetApp or Sun

Patents are only for the old machine Looking at the recent discussion around the patent issue between Sun and NetApp, I'm really wondering who is on the right side. Seeing the various reaction, it looks like a child play to me where no one really knows who started : especially, if you read this letter from Sun with a previous offer to NetApp for buying a cross-licensing. There is at least something clear to me, both are not using patents for defensive reasons… but maybe, I have another definition of a "defensive" patents portfolio than they have. Go back to work and stop this child play.

2007-10-31 Itojun

Jun-ichiro “itojun” Itoh Hagino passed away on October 29, 2007 at the age of 37.

A great man who really helped the Internet community to understand the importance of interoperability, freedom and free access to technology.

It's a very sad news for his family and relative. I'll keep a very nice and happy remembrance of our past discussions.
