Being sarcastic, I bet the commercial license from EntrOuvert was way cheaper than 860k, this horrendous decision should mean firing of the managers involved in Orange, but being a semipublic company the incentives are wrong and these managers probably have promoted since then.

Well, turns out the CEO of Orange back then was Thierry Breton, and indeed nowadays Mr. Breton is a European Commissioner, so things turned out pretty well for him.

I wouldn’t say having a reputation as counterfeiter and ripper off of open source IP, as “working out pretty well” but YMMV, I guess it depends on your value system hahahahaha! :)

If they haven’t been promoted in the 14-20 years since the violation occurred, their career has really stalled.
