Corey Thuen was a developer at the Idaho National Laboratory who helped to develop a network-visualization tool called Sophia. Then Battelle Energy, the company that manages the IDL, rejected the notion of open-sourcing Sophia, and instead licensed it for commercial use to a company called NexDefense.So Thuen went created a separate-but-similar open-source tool called Visdom, written in entirely different languages. (He stresses: "Visdom is not a translation of Sophia from C to the languages in which Visdom is written. We did not have the Sophia code when we created Visdom.") And what happened? That's right: Battelle sued him.No, wait, it gets even worse.
