Microsoft is targeting Sun Microsystems for patent violations in its open-source software, claiming OpenOffice.org breaches 45 of its patents. Sun wasted no time in responding to the claims coming out of Redmond "You would be wise to listen to the customers you're threatening to sue -- they can leave you, especially if you give them motivation," Sun's President and CEO Jonathan Schwartz wrote in his blog. "Remember, they wouldn't be motivated unless your products were somehow missing the mark." The open-source community, he added, is vastly more innovative and powerful than a single company.
