Could this lawsuit be nothing more than Larry being Larry?"
Because it wasn't just SAP AG (the packaged apps side of the house), but rather the TomorrowNow division of SAP, who *sells* 3rd party support for Oracle applications (JDE, PSoft, and Siebel). That why the support doc's, patches, and other info form the site was valuable. With that information TomorrowNow would be able to offer the same level of technical knowledge and patches as Oracle (that's where the $$ aspect of the suit comes in to play). Read the PDF on their site for more info on the suit. -JB
