"Patrick catches SJVN running fast an loose with the truth in pursuit of an opportunity to smear Sun."
That comment would be forgivable if were obvious what the truth is. I asked Sun a week ago to comment on the implications (if any) of Judge Kimball's ruling for Sun, but the company hasn't been able to come up with a response.

Matthew: You may not be aware of it, but there is plenty of data around that comes from other sources than the court case, that SJVN is aware of, that among other things shows Sun's rights to UNIX arise from a deal in the early 90s.
Sun is not commenting on the case in progress and I'm rather surprised that you expect otherwise. I'm also a bit disappointed that you're not aware of the other sources - loads of people on Slashdot seem to be.
