If netapp has a chance to win this case, then this can only happen in a
non-cilized country. The "patents" netapp is claiming are just duplicates of
prior art in my Dimploma thesis on a COW filesystem that I published in
May 1991.
Netapp definitely does not own new ideas for COW filesystems....
so why care about this lawsuit?
