Comment Not really important, except to Sun (Score 2, Interesting) 407
I read that to say that MS has the right to seek damages (sue) from all those people who
had something to do w/OOo before this agreement and after it. They'd still have to win a lawsuit
that proved they incurred damages, possibly to IP, patents, who knows.
So that little provision doesn't really change anything for users. It simply tells Sun
that MS can sue them for actions they have taken (and future action they take) w/OOo regardless of
this agreement not to sue them for 10 years.
