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.

Call for Action!

Put a banner on your site and get rid of Trend Micro software

Barracuda Networks uses ClamAV anti virus software in their solutions. Anti virus developer Trend Micro accused Barracuda Networks of patent infringement with a bogus patent (as all software patents are). What Trend Micro really does is abusing the patent system and aggressively attacking ClamAV users and developers directly. This is a disgusting act. A company should operate between borders of a certain ethical environment. Trend Micro exceeds the borders of decency. It has become a pariah and should be punished.
