Which claim? That he sued everyone in order to acquire control of Mathematica?
Like I said, it's hard to give evidence of that because he sued everyone into silence, but here's some vague allusions about it:
Wolfram quit Illinois, took the program private, and entered into
complicated lawsuits with both his former employee and his
co-authors (all since settled).
I suppose your next move is to discredit this source, but this isn't the first time I hear about it. I remember other vague allusions to this incident, and it fits with Wolfram's overall litigious nature, which is well-documented. I'll try emailing the parties that were probably involved (I think it included at least partially the SMP crowd).
In the meantime, you can keep defending Wolfram, but I don't think you really need to. He's got no shortage of shills.
