Date: 21 Feb 2003 21:10:44 +0530 http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/29419.html SQL Server developers face huge royalty bills. How many, how much? A Washington court ruling could see SQL Server developers liable for millions of dollars in licensing fees. The judgment concerns a contract dispute between Timeline Inc. and Microsoft, over three patents relating to datamarts.
