Trend vs Barracuda - its not about open source, its about the money!

2008-06-13 22:39:19 by HASH0x8c11980 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...Barracuda patent infringement suit that Trend has brought. A couple of things are pretty clear reading Chen's responses to the questions 1. This law suit is being fought as much in the court of public opinion as it is in the courts of law. For that Dean and the Barracuda crew deserve credit. They have done a good job of making this a Trend...

Barracuda defends open source AV from Trend, where is the calvary?

2008-01-29 19:28:34 by HASH0x8b631ac in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...Barracuda is involved in a wicked patent fight with Trend Micro over the use of Clam AV gateway anti-virus. It seems according to a 1995 patent issued to Trend Micro, they claim that virtually all gateway AV that removes viruses as they move through a SMTP or FTP proxy servers are covered under this patent. Barracuda uses the popular, open...

2008-05-30 00:45:14 by ashimmy in StillSecure, After All These Years
...Barracuda have made an offer of $7.50 a share (in cash) for Sourefire. This values Sourcefire at about 200 million dollars and is a 13% premium over the Friday closing price.

Further reflections on Trend, Barracuda and open source

2008-01-30 23:48:58 by HASH0x8b2d2d8 in StillSecure, After All These Years
 
...Barracuda patent war. I have also done some more research and reading on this one. In my earlier article I said that this is not about open source so much as it is about gateway anti-virus. Upon further reflection though I am not as sure. Here are some other facts to consider 1. ClamAV may have as many as 1 million users downloaded updates...

Barracuda continues their poker game with Sourcefire today raising their $7.50 all cash bid to $8.25 . Are Dean and company just bluffing for publicity or are they willing to keep playing and stay in this game until all the cards are on the table? I don't know for sure, but find it interesting that Barracuda did say to Sourcefire that they would...

Trend Micro: Barracuda suit not about open source

2008-06-14 00:00:00 by Robert McMillan in Network World on Security
 
...Barracuda Networks. In the past few months Barracuda's cause has been taken up by free software advocates, who see Trend Micro's patent claims as a threat to the open-source ClamAV antivirus project.
