Issue still open?

[edit]

"the 4-4 decision reached by the court, combined with the lack of a written opinion, has led many lawyers to believe that this issue addressed in Lotus is still open."

Huh? There is a written opinion. It's the one the appeals court wrote, and the Supreme Court affirmed it. Who says the issue is still open? Gazpacho 08:23, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is Octave vs. Matlab a good example?

[edit]

I found this Wikipedia article when trying to understand how come GNU Octave can imitate the syntax, behaviour and 'look and feel' of the commercial MATLAB (and openly admit doing so). I guess this case is the answer, but I'd be happy if someone knowledgeable confirms that... If so, it could be a prime example to write under the "Impact" section in the article.

This court case is only relevant in the United States. GNU Octave probably needs to respect the laws of many other countries in addition to US laws, or else a large number of people wouldn't be able to use the software. --Stefan2 (talk) 18:14, 30 August 2013 (UTC)[reply]
