George is fairly certain Linda's concerns are unfounded and David thinks she
is worried unnecessarily.
But let us remember that Unisys owns the technology. That they allow some
groups of people unlicensed use of the technology is not the point because
they could change their licensing rules whenever they feel like it. The
decision on licensing, like all other corporate decisions, is subject to
only one criterion: whether it is in the shareholders' interest.
Linda's worries are unfounded and unnecessary only while her interests are
identical to those of the shareholders.
