Earnest urged a lawsuit and even raised the idea of criminal charges against Bosack. He e-mailed colleagues: "The fundamental problem is: how do you negotiate an equitable agreement with crooks?" "1985-88 Back at Stanford as associate chair of Computer Science and also involved in parallel processing research, I discovered that the founder of Cisco Systems, who I was supervising, was selling Stanford technology. I prepared for legal action and induced him to resign but later discovered that the Stanford administration avoids suing corporations whenever possible, thinking of them as potential donors. After a couple of years, during which Cisco illicitly made millions, Stanford gave them a sweetheart licensing deal. A few years later I ran across an endowed chair at Stanford in the name of the chief crook and funded by Cisco. There was additional dirt beneath the surface of these transactions but that story will have to wait till later." -- http://www.stanford.edu/~learnest/net.htm http://www.stanford.edu/~learnest/net.htm https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hewlett-Packard_spying_scandal https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Hewlett-Packa...
