      I've often wondered this

      I've often wondered this too - the only thing I can think is that it wasn't just centred around the software itself; I believe the accused also allegedly stole support documentation, knowledgebase articles, etc, which isn't publicly accessible.

    If this isn't a form of corporate espionage, the purchase & then sudden litigation, then I'm confused...
