It may be possible to pursue the ICGA board for their personal assets,


That sounds like another desparate day dream. Suing board members is in general only possible in cases of gross mismanagement, violating their own, legally approved company rules, or the law.

I don't know how the ICGA is incorporated. In a successful outcome for the Rybka author, at the minimum a retraction of the ICGA statement and the news agencies who picked up the story could be forced.


That seems not be possible without attacking their decision to disquaify Rybka in the first place (which I thought you did not want to do, going for the defamation approach in stead). What exactly would they have to retract if the decision still stands? They would be ruled to make the same statement in a slightly more friendly wording?

Quote:
Depends if a Jury was present or not. Have you ever been to a court hearing involving a Jury and Expert Witnesses? This is how it would go, in this case:

1) Jury sees the experts from both sides present testimonies that disagree with eachother
2) Jury tries to assess the expert testimony
3) Jury has no clue what these experts (two compiler guys and two contract (GPL) guys in this case) are talking about
4) Jury gives them a point each as the compiler guys both have long beards (so must know what they are talking about) and the contract guys have good suits
5) Jury says "show us the copied code"
6) Jury notes that the exhibit shown looks nothing like the Fruit code they were shown previously
7) The Rybka author defense arguments are made (see previous post)
8) Jury wonders why a bunch of plagiarisers are accusing the best of them as a plagiariser when they are all clearly plagiarisers
9) Case is awarded to plaintiff and the Jury looks for lunch ...

If the Rybka author is going to sue I recommend a Jury hearing for his optimal outcome.


This seems to have little to do with footing the bill for the lawyers. We don't have jury trials over here, so perhaps my understanding is incomplete, but I thought it was not the jury that has to pay for the trial... The day dream is that some Santa Clause would step in to buy a hollow victory at huge cost, out of pity for Vas.

Do you know where the ICGA is registered, and which jurisdiction would apply? Is a jury trial even possible in that jurisdiction?
