Heise claims to have them [substantive claims] - and isn't proposing to go on discovery fishing expedition - but doesn't want IBM to know what they are. At the time, and this was a week ago, he said he had spent more time talking to us than to IBM, that there had been no contact. He figures IBM's strategy will be to go for a dismissal on the grounds that what he's charged IBM with so far are is not a cause of action and are conclusions, not facts. He seems relatively unperturbed at the prospect. He also gave Sun a hall pass on IP tampering, calling it "clean as a whistle," because it paid all that money once upon a time for Unix. As for everybody else, well, he hadn't gotten around to reading their agreements yet.-- Mark Heise, 2003-03-21
