Red Hat Paid $4.2m To Settle Patent Suit

An anonymous reader writes "'Red Hat paid $US4.2 million to settle a patent infringement suit brought against it by FireStar Software, an intellectual property activist claims. Florian Mueller, who made a name for himself during the campaign to prevent the adoption of software patents in Europe some years ago, said he had dug up a court filing that showed the payment had been made.' Mueller says the payment made by Red Hat was kept secret but news about it surfaced in another suit."

How is this any new news ? Companies have lawsuits, sometime they win, sometime they lose. All type of companies, whether we like them or not. So really move along now, there is nothing to see.
