The answer to your question is that corporations are amoral beings.
Note: I'm not saying they are evil, and I am not saying that some
corporations aren't run by very moral and good executives.
I think that what's moral for individual human beings does not
necessarily apply to corporations. Specifically, I think that the so
called grey area is much broader for corporations than it is for you and me.
All that matters to a company is the bottom line, profits, keeping
shareholders happy.
Many humans live similar lives. Substitute company by family and
shareholders by wife and kids.
Doesn't mean they should stop making money from on of their biggest
clients, does it? This is a simple ongoing commodity transaction that
is completely divorced from the intellectual property departments
duking it out.
Well, no. In fact, there is nothing immoral in stopping dealing with
Apple. Like it is always said - "nothing personal, just business"...
Someone up the ladder came up with the power point presentation that
appears to support the idea that in terms of profit this would be the
best move for Samsung and hence the decision was eventually made.
I am surprised it wasn't made way earlier, in fact.
Life goes on...
It sure does. Before Apple and Samsung there were Nokia. Made great
phones, by the way. Not all of them, but some were great indeed. There
will be life after Apple and Samsung just as well...
