:Microsoft sues TomTom over FAT patents (make Linux too expensive)
Microsoft sues TomTom over FAT patents (make Linux too expensive)
Mar 2, 2009, 04 :01 UTC (8 Talkback[s]) (6109 reads)

(Other stories by Harald Welte)

"They claim that this lawsuit has no relation whatsoever to Linux, and they're only targeting TomTom's specific implementation of Linux. I have actually reviewed the TomTom kernel sources a number of times during the last couple of years as part of gpl-compliance reviews. I can tell you, there is nothing "TomTom specific" in their FAT FS code. It is the plain fat/msdos/vfat file system like in every kernel.org kernel."
