In further developements in this interesting case. M.
Jacquard, a well-know French inventor (responsible for the
Jacquard loom, a precursor of the well-know punch card
technology) announce in a press conference in Paris that
he would be joining with M. Pascal in his suit.

M. Pascal who was also at the press conference, announced
a further suit, aimed at M. Wirth over the name of his
popular teaching language. Said M. Pascal, "You call him
by name or by value but his lawyer better call my lawyer
by Monday or else we'll see each other in court!" M. Wirth
could not be reached for comment.
