Harald has a nice overview of the FUD that is being spread again by some company from RedMond ..
Now why are they targeting TomTom ? Surely because Canon and Sony and different others are to big to sue, Both my EOS400D, Ixus400 and K800i , are using a way to FAT filesystem to store files on,
I tried putting ext2 formatted disks in them but that failed :)
(Not running Linux or already having paid up might be another reason)
Harald notes that there is no difference between the Kernel.org FAT implementation and the TomTom implementation so why aren't they going for a bigger fish ?
I`m sure there are plenty of other companies shipping Linux based products that are allowing people to use their own Flashdisks hence using the FAT code.
TomTom is originally from The Netherlands, yet the case is
filed somewhere in the US. I wonder how the EC would react to such a suit.
Oh well.. interresting times ahead ...
