Russian police have raided today the Moscow offices of NGINX, Inc., a subsidiary of F5 Networks and the company behind the internet's most popular web server technology.

Equipment was seized and employees were detained for questioning.

Moscow police executed the raid after last week the Rambler Group filed a copyright violation against NGINX Inc., claiming full ownership of the NGINX web server code. The Rambler Group is the parent company of rambler.ru, one of Russia's biggest search engines and internet portals.

I'm curious what the legal ramifications will be. This could indirectly benefit Apache and Lighttp.

Sysoev never denied creating NGINX while working at Rambler. In a 2012 interview, Sysoev claimed he developed NGINX in his free time and that Rambler wasn't even aware of it for years.

Rambler may have a case here, at least in the Netherlands that would be the case. It doesn't matter if he did it in his spare time, the code is owned by the employer.

The criminal case will be closed
This are Russian greedy bastards from the "saints 1990s" wanted to easily take money from others.
Here they are our bastards who look in the mouth of the United States and love "universal democratic values".
They robbed Russia in the "saints of the 1990s" and they are still have in power.
It was them who the West - Reigan, Klinton and etc loved in "saints 1990"

In Russia that does matter. On the other hand the Russian police doesn't care about the Russian law. (Courts do not care either.)

the "saints 1990s"

"Святые 90-е"? This is the first time I see that.

It is the same everywhere - corruption and custom-made affairs everywhere against everybody - both in the USA (see Biden and the Democratic Party in Ukraine) and in Europe.
Russia is no exception.

Laws are adopted by the ruling classes, not the people. And laws protect
the interests of the ruling classes and not of people in the US or in Russia.
