Redhat and Novell are being
sued for patent infringement.
Plaintiffs IP Innovation and Technology Licensing Corp. claim to have the rights to U.S. Patent No. 5,072,412 for a User Interface with Multiple Workspaces for Sharing Display System Objects issued Dec. 10, 1991 along with two other similar patents.
Defendants Red Hat Inc. and Novell have allegedly committed acts of infringement through products including the Red Hat Linux system, the Novell Suse Linex Enterprise Desktop and the Novell Suse Linex Enterprise Server.
I’d just like to point out that the same
patent troll licensing company
sued Apple for the same reason earlier this year. Next on the list…Sun Microsystems, and pretty much anyone else who allows you to switch desktops. I wonder if the
FSF will get sued over
GNU Screen.
