Nice.  I hope Mark and Bryce came out well in this one.  They deserve
it.

Subject: [funsec] Best Buy, Geek Squad Settle With Winternals

Via The Austin Business Journal.

Three months after it was filed, Winternals Software LP says it has
settled its copyright infringement lawsuit against Best Buy Co. and its
subsidiary Geek Squad Inc.

Winternals' lawyer, David Weaver in Vinson & Elkins LLP's Austin office,
filed motions Friday in U.S. District Court in Austin officially
announcing the settlement agreement and asking U.S. District Judge Sam
Sparks to dismiss the lawsuit.

Financial terms of the agreement are confidential, but Winternals and
Best Buy have entered into a three-year business relationship to license
a variety of Winternals' software programs to Best Buy's Geek Squad and
other computer service and repair employees.
