Terry,
Humm…you better re-read that story. Presuming it correctly
reported the ruling, not only did the Judge throw out all copyrights on
dBase, it threw out the complaint against Fox and others.
Which would make sense, if the copyrights are void…then AT has no
standing in court to claim someone copied their software's look and feel.
Since the software isn't copyrighted (based on the Judge's decision), AT
has no legal basis to claim a copyright infringement.
