Am I the only one that is finding their response to be unsatisfactory?
Let me translate it for everyone:
"Hey, we realize how much it sucks that your merchandise was seized and will now be destroyed. As far as that goes, well...too bad. _However_, we'll allow you just this once to distribute our own merchandise and spread awareness of our brand name for us."
Is this really a fair deal? Does SparkFun really want to be under Fluke's thumb and promote Fluke's brand at the expense of promoting their own?
In addition to that, they still have a monopoly on the color yellow in their market.
How is this an admirable move by Fluke?
- jessaustin 13y ago"Admirable" in a very narrow sense, perhaps: they've snowed both Sparkfun and the general public, and have strengthened a dubious trademark to boot.
- rch 13y agoAgreed. There's nothing wrong with a company wanting to run damage control in this situation, but the level of praise here seems out of sync.
- tripzilch 13y agoI'd call it "clever", but not "admirable".
