Where did you get that "busted for GPL" info... from wiki? Their article of Fortinet almost reads like Fortinet takes candy from babies! And does Trend Micro make more of its money from stupid patent lawsuits (like Mosaid) than from actually making products? Personally I'm in favor of companies that make things rather than make profits from suing others. I've used their products and they are really good. The level of control over how you protect your network is really good. If Fortinet is slimy, i'd love to see your description of some other big business companies in the states.

Fortinet is also the company that got busted for using GPL freeware as sourcecode, encrypting it and passing it off as their own code and let's not forget the Trend Micro lawsuit....These guys are slimy.

The company claimed to have no idea what we were talking about. I was about to delete this from the study - after all, would a major corporation be less than up front with us about aiding an authoritarian state? - until I found a photo of Fortinet’s Sales Director for the region presenting a gift to Burma’s Prime Minister in commemoration of the country adopting Fortinet’s filtering product. (Scroll down, look for the guys shaking hands.) We have a legal term for this: “oops!” (The Sales guy in question, Benjamin Teh, refused to confirm he’d even been in Rangoon. Apparently the junta is also excellent at faking photos of random software company bureaucrats. Or is there a simpler explanation?)
