Sentinel: I completely disagree. No customer in their right mind would pay for development of a custom product/platform and not expect it to be theirs exclusively. I assume that the contractual agreements state this, but in a case wherein they don't, ethics would seem to dictate that the customer who paid for a custom platform to be developed could expect that the company is not going to go out and license the platform they funded to its competitors. If e.Digital did that, I think they would have a lot of trouble finding innovative customers in the future. I think it would be a suicidal business strategy.

Truly, I remain shocked that no one else on this forum thinks that there is a legal or ethical issue involved with EDIG to attempting to sell custom platforms it developed under contract for specific customers like APS, Eclipse and Softeq/HP to other customer.

Sentinel: Your post is totally illogical. Why would a company in a highly competitive business arena pay for custom product development and then allow the design/engineering firm they engaged to resell the same custom product platform they financed to be resold to its competitors without any benefit to them?

Furthermore, why would any company engage e.Digital to do a custom product platform/design knowing that its business strategy was to leverage and exploit custom product platforms financed by existing customers to new, competing customers?

I know you are trying to brush off my posts as "laughable," but IMO you have no support for your position whatsoever.
