As open-source activists, we don't have to fight them. They have good lawyers who advised them to publish this page, and we can announce that Orange are supporters of Open-Source, instead making them look evil and we are the people to free the code from them. In case we do this without making them look bad in the press, they more likely want to do business with us in the future, such as fixing website bugs in order to support wider range of web browsers, or even sponsoring free software events.
After we get them to be friends of us, others will join.
