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 ]

Serious allegations about H&P : Comment 86 of 164 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 09-Nov-2001 17:25 GMT | In reply to Comment 85 (Emmanuel Lesueur): Emmanuel: Actually it could still be good faith, just as if you buy a
car and it turns out it was stolen you *may* get to keep it, if you
did what is reasonable to check that it was legitimate. This is to
protect buyers.
However, if you buy a car or a software license, it takes a *lot* for
this to happen. If the copyright status is clearly printed in the
documentation, for example, I don't think there is any chance if the
buyer "missed that". |
