I've seen this the first time, and it seems that FreeType is a threat to them, especially since their `iType' product has the same target market: embedded devices. I think we should react, but how? Contacting them directly? Telling the slashdot.org people? Any other ideas? Werner ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel

I can't tell you whether this is the right solution (probably not). I simply don't know yet how to proceed. American and/or English companies differ enormously compared to German and Austrian ones...

> Excuse me ,I don't understand why we need tell the > slashdot.org people? Another reason for my first reaction (this is, to contact slashdot) is the impudence of this negative advertisement. Up to now I've never seen such a thing, and it is probably worth to be seen by many people. On the other hand, I don't know whether this is common in the cyber world.

I missed Behdad's solution. Not sure if freetype-devel got CCed on his response.
