[Osmf-talk] Did GlobalLogic just admit guilt?

[Peter Barth]

Hi,

honestly, this was a diplomatic reply, but not an answer. Rory had a
very good point here. You speak about "will likely work together", and 
"our talks with the company". Will you ask/speak with the individual 
members or not? If not, why/how can you resign them, if they were not 
signed up by GL itself but were individuals (as some suggested).

Or putting it in another way, on what (legal) grounds are you 
unsubscribing those members?
