Barracuda CEO Dean Drako explains why his company is publically fighting Trend
Micro patent suit (video)
,----[ Quote ]
| It's unusual for companies engaged in patent litigation to comment on how the
| fight is going. But Barracuda Networks CEO Dean Drako has openly sought FOSS
| community support for his company's defense again a Trend Micro lawsuit that,
| while filed against his company, is really about ClamAV. We've written about
| this before, as have others. In this video, however, we'll let Dean tell you
| in his own words what's going on -- and why.
