[clug-talk] I see a bad moon rising...

[Juan Alberto Cirez]

Robert,
Failing an actual ruling on the alleged copyright ownership or copyright 
violation; is there a legal precedent anywhere where a ruling was made 
against the plaintiff based on the likelihood that technological 
advances could have accounted for the alleged similarities, if any (i.e. 
between UNX code and portions of the Linux Kernel)?
