What does a "open pledge" like that realistically mean, in case they someday broke that pledge? Would the court-case 100% surely get thrown out? Am I legally protected because of this pledge?
- esafak 3y agoJust look at their litigation record. They have been around for long enough to have a meaningful track record.
- RussianCow 3y agoThat doesn't mean things won't change in the future.
- lmm 3y agoTheir track record in other places has shown a significant decline (perhaps related to DoubleClick completing their reverse-acquisition of them).
- 20after4 3y agoThat's my take on the death of don't be evil. Doubleclick was the worst kind of company and the merger with google seems to have diluted enough evil into google that google's immune system failed to kill it.
- diggan 3y ago> Just look at their litigation record. I guess if one looks at those, it'll look like they won't sue you? But my hypothetical case is what about if they do sue you, does this actually protect you, or not? Does a "pledge" have enough meaning that it could change the outcome in a court case?
