105 Lawsuits!
Luo Qiaowei keenly noticed that something was wrong, but after all, there was a huge gap between him and the company's legal department, so he naturally didn't think about how to deal with it, and directly reported the situation to the business director of the audit department, George.
George here is certainly not a piggy, in fact former presidents can also be George, such as George Washington.
Although George is not the president, it is clear that what he says is more useful than the president on this one-third of an acre.
George came to the same judgment as Luo Qiaowei, the software must be infringing, and the specific infringement of which right needs to be judged by the legal department, and may also need the technical department to collect and fix the evidence.
Soon, the software developed by Wang Yufei was submitted to Apple's headquarters and entered the mailbox of Ketforsco, the technical officer in charge of Apple's IOS development team.
When he first got the news, Cott Fosko scoffed.
Hehe......
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPERS, HUAXIA, PERFECT SIMULATION IOS?
What about playing?!
At first, he wanted to point to the heads of the people in the application review department and ask them if they understood what closed source was.
The source code of IOS has never been made public, and even if someone can collect all the historical versions of IOS at any cost, to crack and port them perfectly, it will at least take a team, after years of hard work and collection, and the average technical ability of this team should be at least the same as that of their development team......
As for Huaxia, that technological desert?
Not to mention a team, just from the perspective of system development, can you find a few that can be played?
But since the problem has been fed back, there must be an explanation.
Okay, let's test it first......
About an hour later......
it?
What's going on? This thing really works?!
Two hours later......
Nima, how much has you done to make the APP version compatible? Can it be compatible with the latest version upwards, and backward compatible with the original version?
Three hours later......
When the source code analysis is on the computer, the whole team starts to work on it, no longer with Cateforsco!
If the surprise of the Penguin technical team at the moment of analyzing the code is expressed numerically as 1000, then the surprise of the Apple IOS team at this time is 10086!
Well, the extra 9086 gives mobile wave advertising, and there is no charge!
There is no other reason, Apple's system updates are typed out by them one by one, and how hard it is to repair, innovate, and add functions on the basis of their predecessors, I know how hard it is.
And now, all this inexplicable code does the same thing!
ALTHOUGH IT HAS BEEN STREAMLINED AND OPTIMIZED, MANY WHIMSICAL LITTLE FUNCTIONS ARE NOT INCLUDED IN THE ANALOG IOS SYSTEM, BUT THERE IS NO DOUBT THAT EVERYTHING THAT CAN BE SUPPORTED IS SUPPORTED!
What's even more annoying is that the various small patches they have worked out to promote Apple's hardware have also been ruthlessly erased!
But it works so well!
Similarly, the uncommented code and the unconventional and outrageous naming conventions of functions also create a great reading block for these top engineers.
Although the structure of their iOS source code is vaguely similar in many places, the way of expression is completely different!
When he saw all this, Cott Fosko seemed to see a mocking smile......
"Huh...... If you can understand it, I'll lose!"
Can this be endured?
......
"It's a war! An unknown team from Huaxia is declaring war on us, everyone is pausing their work and starting to analyze the code! The first thing we need to understand is how it bypasses our firmware authentication mechanism and uses our software, and I am personally responsible for this part; Carter, you are responsible for fixing the evidence and then submitting it to the legal department!"
That's right, it's clear that the Apple tech team and the Penguin team have two completely different mindsets.
Of course, this is also determined by the different environments on both sides.
For Penguin's technical team, this kind of talent is naturally welcome, but for Apple, it is simply a great crime.
Of course, there are also emotional bonuses that disagree.
Even though Huaxia has become Apple's largest production base and one of the largest markets, in the eyes of many technology executives, Huaxia should still play the role of a technology desert.
......
At the same time, Apple's legal department, which received the feedback, quickly began to act.
The legal department is clearly not as entangled as the technical department.
All they needed was a test environment, and the ability to use Apple's systems and software on firmware from other brands, to be enough for them to fight a multinational lawsuit.
Obviously, the IOS installation package in this software infringes on Apple's relevant technical copyrights, and I am even more afraid that this installation package can run perfectly on other brands of mobile phone devices with SIM cards that are only developed for the IOS system, and what is even more infuriating is that this software is blatantly charged in the Android environment!
The technical department struggled for three hours, and the legal department even prepared several indictments, whether it was for the individual developer or for the application treasure platform!
Of course, the point of view must first be clear.
"The purpose of this lawsuit is not to hinder good faith security research, but to stop the illegal commercialization of Apple's valuable copyrighted works by ordinary developers!"
See, everyone is very experienced.
First of all, the starting point must be high!
Come on, vigorous transnational lawsuits!
The most injured are probably the staff of Apple Huaxia.
In view of the time difference, when the legal department of Apple's headquarters draws up the indictment with righteous words and collects all the fixed evidence given by the technical department, of course, it must be handed over to the legal department of Apple Huaxia for processing as soon as possible.
And according to the requirements of the headquarters, this matter must be expedited.
It is necessary to strangle this software in the cradle before it has time to become popular in China and even the world, so it is best to file a lawsuit the next day!
Let Huaxia, the development team that does not know the height of the sky, and the application treasure platform know how much Apple attaches importance to this matter, and the determination to suppress this technological infringement momentum without hesitation and maintain its closed-loop ecology!
Let them hear the roar of the dragon from the West! and be shocked by the roar......
However, the only thing that the legal team at Apple's headquarters probably didn't expect was that Universe First suddenly sued a little-known developer in China, how much of a sensation it would cause, and how many chain reactions it would cause, and it was likely to indirectly help this software to the greatest extent without spending a penny on the publicity offensive......
That's right, the legendary counter-effect......
With this kind of highly eye-catching lawsuit, even if Apple itself does not publicize it, will a large company like Penguin Group and a large company that controls the social entrance give up this opportunity to encircle the general public for no reason?
