US court ruled: ComponentPro libraries stolen from Rebex

Using ComponentPro? We've got news that might affect your codebase. It was actually Rebex code – and we proved it in court.

ComponentPro has lost copyright infringement lawsuit because they were selling .NET components based on the code copied from our Rebex .NET libraries. Almost the same APIs, same internals – just rebranded and sold as their own. To hide the real authors, they changed the names of classes and some methods, but the vast majority of the code remains the same. We took them to court – and we won. Infringing company had to stop all business activities and Rebex acquired the ComponentPro.com domain.

What this means for you

If you bought any of the following ComponentPro products, you're using infringing software:

• Ultimate Studio Suite
• Network Expert Suite
• FTP Expert Suite
• Mail Expert Suite
• FTP & FTPS
• SFTP & SCP
• Terminal Emulation
• Mail Library
• SFTP Server

A full breakdown of the case and affected libraries is available at www.componentpro.com
