Sphere 3D Corp. (ANY)

[derek32smith]

Contrary to some of the follow up posts on the question of Apple and Glassware, my concerns about Sphere's claims re Apple are not an attempt to spread FUD. There is NO uncertainty whatsoever about what Sphere and its management claim they can do with Glassware and the market potential for it, and what legally binding contracts say they cannot. No wiggle room. Period.

Perhaps this will help. Found on Apple's website:

Permitted License Uses and Restrictions.
A. Single Use License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, unless you have purchased a Family Pack or Upgrade license for the Apple Software, you are granted a limited non-exclusive license to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-branded computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-branded computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.

Now, lets address Sphere's marketing claims. From Peter Tassiopoulous' marketing presentations, and this video on Youtube. Please pay particular attention to the video from 1:00 minute to 1:30

Clearly shows Apple software running on non Apple hardware and Operating systems. This is HUGE marketing claim that is simply FALSE.

Deliberately false.

And please note: the company was informed of this in early January time frame.

These claims have been made to investors at investment conferences and at the AGM. They are material claims about the technology and market potential for Glassware and Sphere.

Perhaps its time to call the OSC and SEC.
