Green Hills Responds to Express Logic Injunction: "It's okay to completely copy somebody else's interface"

After reviewing the copyright claim issued by Express Logic yesterday, Green Hills called the allegations that Green Hills had illegally copied the ThreadX API ridiculous. In fact, Green Hills said that it would be allowed to exactly copy the application interface if it wanted as "It's been done many times by everyone in this industry, including Express Logic."

As VDC is not a legal body, we will reserve judgment until the matter has been decided by the arbitrators.
