-36 years ago, I co-founded ”Open Text Systems Inc”; today "OpenText", an enterprise software roll-up, lots of M&A of OK-but-declining companies. I've had no involvement this century.
-I see they've acquired Micro Focus, famous as the leading modern supplier of COBOL technology. Yay COBOL?
-IBM sued Micro Focus over something in their “modernization for IBM mainframe PL/I and COBOL development” product. Boo IBM?
-Judge threw the case out. Yay judge?
