What a joke of a lawsuit. IBM wants to lock in its clients for an eternity.
Look at this from the article:
LzLabs’ product helps its clients migrate from IBM computer mainframe technology onto open source alternatives. The US company says that it is “inconceivable” that LzLabs — and its UK subsidiary Winsopia — could have developed that migration software without illegally reverse engineering IBM’s technology.

Clean room reverse engineering is entirely legal. Fuck IBM, they’re pulling an Oracle.
Shit they’re pulling an old school IBM eh?
“We built our services to lock in users in such a way, that only reverse engineering it is how to break out!”
Never heard of LzLabs before today, but I hope they succeed. Fuck IBM and their proprietary bullshit
