GPs story definitely rings true.
- Evidlo 8y agoIf the company was acquired by a Huawei partner, doesn't that mean the reproduction was legitimate in this case?
- djrogers 8y agoNo, why would it be? It wasn’t produced by the partner, and was never authorized to be copied by anyone. It was straight up copied - source code and all - by Hauwei after their partner got access to our SVN repos.
- random314 8y agoWhy wasn't Huawei sued? I would assume that Huawei acquired the code and design legally if there was no lawsuit.
- unmole 8y agoWait, if the company was acquired by a Huawei proxy, how is that same as whatever GP is insinuating? Full disclosure: I work for Huawei; I am not paid to shill; I am not Chinese.
- forapurpose 8y ago> I am not Chinese I'm not criticizing the parent, but it should never need to be said. Nobody here should be judged based on their ethnicity or country.
- __sr__ 8y agoWait, if Huawei Partner acquired the company, doesn’t it mean they got the rights to its IP? Isn’t that often the sole point of acquision? Or did I misread something?
