There was a big discussion in the Club forums about whether these guys are really partners of MandrakeSoft or whether they are just being sleazy and trying to make it look like they are. None of there agreements list Mandrakesoft as a actual signatory, although the descriptions represent that they are authorizing all of this. The discussion on the Club started because some guy that was selling the download edition on e-bay got his auctions yanked because himandrake represented themselves to ebay as the owner of the mandrake trademarks and copyrights. If this is a US based partner of MandrakeSoft that is enforcing an exclusive agreement, fine, but they could also be a sleazy outfit that is trying to profit off of Mandrake's good name. I am more inclined to think the latter because I don't see anywhere on the himandrake site where they state they are an official partner, and every place where they might say so, it refers only to himandrake or Heavy Industrial and there are no links to the MandrakeSoft or linux-mandrake websites. -- /g "Outside of a dog, a man's best friend is a book, inside a dog it's too dark to read" -Groucho Marx
