Comment on Commodore Unveils Linux Powered Flip Phone by Foldi-One

It isn't that weird really - where did IBM start and what do they do now, Lamborghini and so many others started as Tractor or Bicycle companies before becoming something else (etc). Evolution of a company is to be expected, the IP and ethos of the company might last decade after decade anyway, or it might not.

For those that didn't really survive the zombie IP crap is annoying but hardly matters - no one will be able to use them for a lifetime, but who would want to? Whatever reputation they once had has been erased! You want to effectively start a new company with the ethos of the old one you can - only reason to want that IP is if you are also wanting to produce the old products again.
