Apple-Microsoft Ruling: A federal judge has issued a final ruling in a portion of the copyright dispute between Apple Computer and Microsoft. The ruling held that a 1985 licensing agreement between the companies does not include a Microsoft software program known as Windows 2.03. The decision does not resolve the larger dispute between the companies as to whether the Windows program infringes on a copyright held by Apple. That matter is expected to be resolved later.
