I missed Behdad's solution. Not sure if freetype-devel got CCed on his response.

However, my English is probably not `professional' enough to write such a letter. Behdad proposed a sensible solution...

Stumbled upon freetype.com by accident. Have people seen this before? Interesting... Despicable domain squatting and negative advertising. Shame on them. Indeed! I've seen this the first time, and it seems that FreeType is a threat to them, especially since their `iType' product has the same target market: embedded devices. I think we should react, but how? Contacting them directly? Telling the slashdot.org people? Any other ideas? Werner ___ Freetype-devel mailing list Freetype-devel@nongnu.org http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/freetype-devel
Re: [ft-devel] freetype.com
Excuse me ,I don't understand why we need tell the slashdot.org people? Well, there is no `need'. Often, if a company gets bad press it is willing to change the issue. This was my idea. I can't tell you whether this is the right solution (probably not). I simply don't know yet how to proceed. American and/or English companies differ enormously compared to German and Austrian ones...

Re: [ft-devel] freetype.com
Excuse me ,I don't understand why we need tell the slashdot.org people? Another reason for my first reaction (this is, to contact slashdot) is the impudence of this negative advertisement. Up to now I've never seen such a thing, and it is probably worth to be seen by many people. On the other hand, I don't know whether this is common in the cyber world.
