I'm curious how many of those patent filings cover technologies that
they carried over from Auspex.
While it is legal for them to do so, it is a bit shady to inherit
technology (two paths; employees departing Auspex and the Auspex
bankruptcy asset buyout), file patents against that technology, and then
open suits against other companies based on (patents covering) that
technology.
(No, I'm not defending Sun in it's apparent patent-growling, either, it
all sucks IMO.)
