And yes, it's 164 pages (plus likely thousands of pages of attachments). Part of it is of course the inherent verbosity of court paperwork, part of it is also the fact that they repeat everything for each defendant (and that's three of us + SPS), but a significant cause of it is also that the lawsuit is just pure babble. Is it a case of SLAPP? Maybe, definitely feels like one to me.

We will of course fight this, and we're nowhere near being intimidated.

I originally tried to make an itemized list of their nonsense, but I ended up with 18 bullet points of bullshit that still made zero sense. It would be disrespectful to others to have them read that.

So instead of that, here's a symbolic picture of the lawsuit as a whole: them quoting my own code to me as supposedly their IP. :)

Lawsuit paragraph 4.3, showing two code screenshots from our 37C3 slide deck. This code is the C code generated from an imaginary motor controller I developed to explain how PLC programming works.

@q3k just to clarify: was the quoted code just an example to explain the concept or was it also used to fix the trains?

@Fnordinger That was sample code I wrote in FBD first to demonstrate how PLC programming works. It's for an imaginary motor controller that had nothing to do with the problem at hand.

They really, really should've known better.

@q3k well, that’s embarrassing. Especially given the potential budget for lawyers and experts a train company has.

Godspeed for the rest of the trial!

@q3k lol maybe it's because the variable is called ip
