They've just set the Club free. Also, they got some contracts recently. It's
probably Microsoft's rotten moves in Europe, possible lawsuits by proxy, FUD,
and even patent deals that do the most damage to Mandriva adoption. They have
stooped pretty law and their actions are probably illegal. The US DoJ doesn't
give a flying f* because it's occupied by lobbyists, insiders, and
administration people that "save the economy". There's a lot of corruption
involved and it's a complex thing. Those who deny this just don't know enough.
