The Addamax Inc anti-trust case against the one-time Open Software Foundation, Digital Equipment Corp and Hewlett-Packard Co, hearing of which was to start – finally – on October 15 (CI No 3,015), has been delayed again. The judge’s attempts to get the parties to settle have apparently failed, but they are going to try the case backwards now, establishing the extent of the damages Addamax can claim before they get to whether or not the defendants are responsible. The earliest the action could start now is next Tuesday, October 29, to give the attorneys time to prepare and could slip into November.
