Bristol Technology, a small software firm, sued Microsoft after Microsoft sharply changed the licensing terms for the Windows source code Bristol needed to port Windows applications to Unix. In July 1999, a federal jury in Connecticut found that Microsoft had committed a deceptive act in violation of the state's Unfair Trade Practices Act, though it rejected Bristol's broader antitrust claims and awarded only $1 in nominal damages. The trial judge afterward granted a permanent injunction and additional punitive damages under the state statute, and Microsoft separately reached a settlement. The case offered an early courtroom finding that Microsoft had dealt deceptively with a dependent software partner.
