The big difference with regard to this is of course that Sal^Hmba was drawn 
into this issue by the contract without having been involved while the deal 
was being prepared (Basically all parties [SUN/OOo and Samba] except for Mono 
so far have stated that they distance themselves from the deal - which makes 
me wonder whether they haven't been added for reasons of an alibi right from 
the start. ;-)  .

So back to topic: Yes, we should comment in advance about stuff where we are 
directly involved of course. Just wanted to add this although it should be 
obvious.
