All we know is that people can happily keep on working with SA as long as
nothing changes (like the license), and that at the first sign of trouble
people can just do a fork and "market" SA using a different name; maybe even
win a fight to be allowed to keep on using the name.
If NetAss[*] tries anything I'm sure there are enough organizations out there
with enough money/lawyers to make them regret it.
[*] I will of course start calling them NAI if they ever plan on buying a
company from me. ;-)
