Stay tuned to the SFC v. Best Buy litigation schedule.

"DEFENDANT VERSA TECHNOLOGY, INC.’S ANSWER WITH JURY DEMAND
FIFTEENTH AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE (ILLEGAL, UNCONSCIONABLE AND CONTRARY
TO PUBLIC POLICY)
On information and belief, Defendant alleges that Plaintiffs’ claims
are barred, limited and/or excluded on the grounds that the alleged
license at issue in this case and/or certain provisions contained
therein are illegal, unconscionable and barred by public policy as
well as by statutory and case law."

The eight remaining defendants in the Best Buy Inc. litigation are
about to expose the FSF/SFLC/SFC lead "free" software movement for
what it is -- a complete fraud.

Stay tuned.

regards,
alexander.
