The court case documents are worth looking at before forming any opinions: https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/nysd/463894/ (specifically https://www.unitedstatescourts.org/federal/nysd/463894/1-0.h...) -- it alleges that former LSF engineers joined teraproc after leaving IBM and took source code with them, as well as claiming teraproc went after IBM clients offering their managed cluster software for less money than LSF. David Bigagli also says in the first post in that thread: IBM does not have a technical answer to OpenLava and to the benefit its users have.
They cannot articulate why their software is better than OpenLava for the money they charge for it.
IBM fears OpenLava because is does provide a better functionality than their own software and
that's why it can only reply with a lawsuit by hiring:
Kirkland & Ellis LLP.
Sounds like there might be slightly more to this than is outlined in comments. |
