- logicallee 12y agoI upvoted you. Actually your parent should remain ungreyed as extremely civil and couched in terms of a personal opinion, which elicited a thoughtful response from you. If you delete your first sentence and downvote complaint we get: Mandatum 31 minutes ago | link I don't believe this is HN-relevant. reply LukeB_UK 28 minutes ago | link Derivative works and licensing are a huge part of the software development industry and open source. reply Which is great insight to the thread.

- Mandatum 12y agoAgreed. I guess this is akin to workplace environments and retina displays. It's part of our industry, but I still think it's a stretch considering the lawsuit is over a contract between a writer and a studio vs a programmer and company. Similarities admittedly, however I think there's enough more relevant cases to look at than this. http://www.kansascity.com/news/article8836112.html http://www.kansascity.com/news/article8836112.html http://petapixel.com/2015/01/30/adobe-files-lawsuit-forever-21-pirating-copies-photoshop/ http://petapixel.com/2015/01/30/adobe-files-lawsuit-forever-... http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/28/five_years_sun_software_under_oracle/ http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/01/28/five_years_sun_softw... http://www.eweek.com/mobile/high-court-wants-govt-views-in-google-vs.-oracle-api-copyright-fight.html http://www.eweek.com/mobile/high-court-wants-govt-views-in-g...
