Not that I'm a lawyer, but the ruling seems to concern data marts specifically, to wit their design and use. I don't see how Office is affected. As for SQL Server, I would guess that if the ruling holds there will be another version, in which Analysis Services is no longer part of the product. This could pave the way for more sales by some of the third-party vendors such as ESSBase, Red Brick and Platinum. -----Original Message----- From: dba-sqlserver-admin at databaseadvisors.com [mailto:dba-sqlserver-admin at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Stuart Sanders Sent: February 24, 2003 4:30 AM To: dba-sqlserver at databaseadvisors.com Subject: [dba-SQLServer]MS loses SQL server patent licensing claim Don't know if this will affect anyone on this list. http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/29419.html _______________________________________________ dba-SQLServer mailing list dba-SQLServer at databaseadvisors.com http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-sqlserver http://www.databaseadvisors.com
