- hfdgiutdryg 8y agothey stole from Stac / Stacker Technology Did they really? I thought MS just implemented their own version of the tech and was accused of violating patents. Did they actually steal IP? Reading the Wikipedia article, it's not really clear what happened. Looks like MS review Stac code during licensing talks, but there's no mention of accusations of code theft. Then there's discussion of patent violation lawsuits and payoffs going both directions.
