At issue: A legal document that advises judges on software law
In an unusual twist, Microsoft and Linux have joined forces in a legal tussle.
The companies jointly sent a letter expressing their common disagreement with advice regarding software law that a group plans to send to judges.
The American Law Institute (ALI), an association that develops documents meant to help guide judges as they make decisions on complicated legal subjects, is presenting a final draft of its guidelines for software contracts on Tuesday during its annual meeting. The document has been in the works since 2004 and if it is approved it will be published.
