GTE accused of software piracy

By Tony Hallett, 9 June 1999 16:04

NEWS A Dallas-based consultancy has sued US telco, GTE, and one of its suppliers, IMI Systems, claiming they illegally copied software it was supplying. Computer Software Consultants (CSC) has accused GTE of breaching a software licensing agreement by hiring IMI to provide almost identical software, which it says is based on CSC technology, and then dropping CSC. CSC co-founder, John Proctor, said he feels "shocked" and "betrayed" by GTE's actions. CSC has now suspended operations, and will seek legal redress. GTE was not available for comment.
