True, if that's what they were doing. Look, this is a legal tactic. It amounts
to having your friend who's a lawyer call your mechanic because you have a
gripe and want your $100 bill reduced. They know CentOS will not go to court
over this. So this is a way to get them to back off. But CentOS isn't doing
anything wrong or illegal. For that reason, they should ignore this but I
understand why they can't take the risk. Defending RH's actions is just
futile. I, for one, am very disappointed. I can hope bad press will help but
they seem to not really give a fsck.
