A California company alleged that an Internet-filtering program being pushed by the Chinese government contains stolen portions of the company’s software.
The company, Solid Oak Software Inc., said it will try to stop PC makers from shipping computers with the software.
Solid Oak said Friday that it found pieces of its CyberSitter filtering software in the Chinese program, including a list of terms to be blocked, instructions for updating the software, and an old news bulletin promoting CyberSitter. Researchers at the University of Michigan who have been studying the Chinese program also said they found components of CyberSitter, including the blacklist of terms. [Via WSJ]
