AFUA visited Thendic-France : Comment 320 of 629 | ANN.lu |

Ahem, no.
Repost from the "Ben Hermans interview thread".
Let's examine the CGX - P96 situation.
Imagine the P96 people decompiled CGX to produce a compatibility API so that applications targeting the CGX API would work with P96.
This is legal and exactly the reason why the provision on decompilation exists in the first place: to ensure interoperability through decompilation between software.
The interoperability exists in this case between the application using the CGX API and P96, not between P96 and CGX.
You don't want P96 to interoperate with CGX, you want an application using the CGX API to interoperate with P96.
There's a distinction there.
Even if both P96 and the apps using the CGX API are run on different hardware, they still target eachother for interoperability, not different hardware.
But by all means, carry on!
It seems you all should have gone to law-school, the interest in IP law is simply overwhelming. |
