    It’s not cowardice to refuse to fight a completely unwinnable battle. You only fight if you can win something. Otherwise, take the inevitable loss and spend the resources elsewhere.

      It wasn’t completely unwinnable, it was legally untested waters and could have gone either way, had they fought and won they would have even set a precedent for future emulation projects.

      This wasn’t some 2 person team project. It was a company with real money that could have fought and laid the foundation for the future safety of emulation. And because they were a company all liability laid with the company with no personal liability risk to the founders. But they didn’t, they settled in less than 2 days, tucked tail and ran with the remaining money.

      Cowards.
