| = Call for Action = Anti virus developer Trend Micro accused Barracuda Networks of patent infringement but what they really did is attacking the users of ClamAV free anti virus software with a bogus patent (as all software patents are). As a first reaction we feel disgusted about what Trend Micro did: stabbing free software with a knife right in the heart. A company should operate between borders of a certain ethical environment. When a company exceeds the borders of decency - as Trend Micro did by attacking computer users and free software developers - it has become a pariah and should be punished. |
