A company called Xinuos has announced a
lawsuit against IBM and Red Hat that has a familiar echo to it.
“Xinuos alleges that the IBM and Red Hat conspiracy has harmed the
open-source community and specifically Xinuos’ OpenServer 10 product, which
is based on FreeBSD, an open-source UNIX-based operating system and
alternative to Red Hat’s Linux-based open-source operating system,
RHEL. ‘By dominating the Unix/Linux server operating system market,
competing open-source operating systems, like our FreeBSD-based OpenServer
10, have been pushed out of the market.’” The full
text of the suit [PDF] is available for those wanting the details.
