Intro to Hibernate Turned Legal Battle
Posted by dkaz under Java
TSS thread that begins as the “Intro to Hibernate” tutorial
turns to a chilling legal debate (or should I say mudslinging?) between
the ultra-arrogant Thought Inc. (CocoBase) CTO Ward Mullins and the
Hibernate crew including Gavin King himself.
End result? Most observers say they’ll never consider CocoBase again.
You can count me among those - this guy (Ward) is WAY out of line.
Let’s hope their (Thought Inc.’s) broad persistence mapping patents are
not upheld. This whole thing smells very much like the Linux-SCO battle.
