Well, it appears that Platform Solutions Inc, the IBM-thwarted mainframe wannabe, has taken its list of grievances against Big Blue to the European Commission, as we've suggested it would, and lodged a formal antitrust complaint against the company with the regulators.
The complaint was quietly made on October 19, according to Bloomberg, which broke the story Tuesday. The EC says it is in the preliminary stages of examining it.
PSI has charged IBM with violating Article 82 of the EC Treaty by refusing to supply interface information on its mainframes and refusing to license its patents and z/OS operating system to third parties like it used to.
