[News] Serious allegations about H&P | ANN.lu |

Amigo follows up on serious allegations about H&P and says: "I also just asked Unisys as it says here, and am waiting for a reply. If true, H&P could probably be forced to close."
[ If H&P indeed didn't pay royalties for Unisys' GIF algorithm, they might not be forced to close per se, but if this is indeed true, and Unisys decides to sue, they might have to pay some serious fines. Also note that while this is not in unmoderated, it's highly speculative, unconfirmed and generally should be taken with the usual grain of salt - CK ]

Really? That's the first time I hear about that.
I certainly would have welcomed that because we could have used that work then.
BTW: even if that story were true (which it is not), they at least had enough respect for intellectual property to cease their activities rather than continue and release it to the public.
Whoops.
Dug your own grave again. |
