All you did was to let this mailing list know about the things they do that are 
causing demages to your reputation. But how many people are on this mailing 
list? And what else can _YOU_ do other than sending more emails to this mailing 
list about things they do that are causing problems? From their website, they 
don't have an office in UK, so are you going to USA and sue them in court? Do 
you have enough money to pay for the expensive lawyers?


So I don't think you can do anything to stop them. Learning from the experience 
of the Linux community, we need a more effective way than just discussing on 
mailing lists. If you google search microsoft+linux+fud, you can find lots of 
references. This is what end users find when they want to know about Windows vs 
Linux, and with those people in general know that when Microsoft talks about 
Linux, they need to discount most of the claims.

We also need to monitor all the sales talks from Univa, and encourage people to 
submit all the materials (whether FUD or not) used in Univa sales talks to a 
central website.


This is not only about "helping the community", and not about commercial 
against open source, but more about making sure that companies are honest, 
especially when they are competing against open source projects.

I don't think that would be a good idea for various reasons.  If you
have time and energy, there are more constructive ways to help the
community.
