Just saw a link to this today, about a patent infringement lawsuit filed in Nigeria against OLPC:
http://www.marketwire.com/mw/release.do?id=796745 From the article: 'LANCOR's lawsuit alleges that OLPC purchased two KONYIN Multilingual Keyboard models (KONYIN Nigeria Multilingual Keyboard and KONYIN United States Multilingual Keyboard) with the express purpose of illegally reverse engineering the source codes for use in OLPC's XO Laptops. "The willful infringement of our client's intellectual property is so blatant and self-evident in the OLPC's XO Laptops," said Solicitor Ade Adedeji, "we will have no problem establishing the facts of our client's case against OLPC in any court of law."' I don't know Nigerian reverse-engineering laws so I don't know if the case has any merit, but is there any word about how this will affect the XO in Nigeria? nick _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
