[QUOTE="Dungeonseeker, post: 9919420, member: 387264"] AFAIK.... Despite what most believe to be true, IBM actually never sued Pheonix or Compaq over the AT BIOS being decompiled leading to IBM clones. The most cited case is Intel Vs NEC which is interesting. Intel sued NEC over an alleged 8086 microcode copyright, NEC went on to win but not by using the CR defence, instead they hired an indy dev to write the same code and used this as proof to the judge that the only way to do these functions was the way they had done it by showing similarities between the 2 entirely separate projects. They couldn't use clean room since they were actually licensed by Intel to use the code at the time. The last case thats often cited is Sony Vs Connectix. Sony tried to sue them for decompiling the PS BIOS, at first they won a preliminary judgement but this was later overturned and when it became obvious they were gonna lose they did what all corps do and threw money at it. Sony ended up just buying Connectix out and no judgement was ever made. Lets not forget that only last year Take Two shut down all those GTA decomp projects. The problem is nobody wants to be the first to take on a multi billion $ business in court to test it properly. [/QUOTE]
