So, why is this of local interest? Well, the shareholders in this suit ars being represented by none other than Baron & Budd, P.C., which is trolling for other stockholders who wanna turn this sucker into a good ol' class action. According to the Oak Lawn Avenue-based firm in a release issued today, it is "pursuing an even more expanded time period and has uncovered an apparent scheme to grant stock options to executives at unusually favorable dates and prices to the detriment of Progress Software and its shareholders." I believe that's referred to as "trial by press release." --Robert Wilonsky
