Red Hat Takes Aim at Infringement Claims

[Brian Densmore]

Whoa! I think Red Hat is spittin' mad. A quote from this article:

http://news.com.com/2100-7252_3-5059547.html?tag=fd_top

 'The suit also seeks to require SCO to triple the financial damages caused to Red Hat "for harm 
caused by SCO's unfair competition and false advertising...unfair and deceptive (trade) 
practices...as well as for violations of common law, including trade libel, unfair competition and 
tortious interference with prospective economic advantage."'

Go Red Hat!
