The topic of HP's legal action will be discussed in the vendor
selection meeting for our next bazillion-$ supercomputer (Linux
cluster) purchase.

HP/Compaq is currently rated Not Acceptable.  We can't afford the
liability exposure of dealing with a company that acts in this
manner.  What if one of our students or users does something that
causes HP to sue the University?

The UC lawyers are gonna hurl when they see the ramifications of this
one.
