i4i tells its side of the story: Microsoft ruined our business

i4i has filed its responsive brief in the appeal of the i4i v. Microsoft patent litigation. It says it had a business, and Microsoft ruined it. Techflash has was the first to provid the brief that I saw, as PDF, and I have done it as text for you.
i4i answers Microsoft's brief point by point, and the overarching question it asks is this: is Microsoft not supposed to follow the law? The points i4i make are clear and simple: Microsoft infringed, it knew it. It can still sell Word, just not the separable infringing component. If it's hard for them to do that -- and i4i points out Microsoft has never said it is impossible -- that is the cost of infringing.

NAME
pdb2mdb - Program Database to Mono Debugging Symbol converter. SYNOPSIS
pdb2mdb pdb_file DESCRIPTION
This tool is used to convert debugging symbols generated by Microsoft's compilers into debugging symbols that can be consumed by Mono's runtime. Program Database files are files that end with the extension .pdb and are associated with a library or executable (a .dll or .exe file). This format was until recently not documented so Mono used its own file format for storing debugging information, the Mono debugging for- mat. Just like PDB files Mono Debugging information is stored in files that reside side-by-side with a program executable or a library. You can use the pdb2mdb tool to transform these PDB files into MDB files that Mono can then consume to debug programs or provide line-num- ber information for stack traces or exceptions. LICENSE
The pdb2mdb tool is released under the terms of the Microsoft Public License (MS-PL). JB Evain wrote the tool. The PDB reading support came from Microsoft Common Compiler Infrastructure. SEE ALSO
