Yeah but if the lawyers had worked a bit faster we could have got 7.5

how soon till the new logo and trademarks hit the product lines?

That's being worked out at the moment, but my guess would be after Christmas. We don't know exactly what format the logos will take yet.

Hm, they actually managed to describe empeg-car quite accurately in few words, which would imply that even they PR people understand what all this is about . (This cannot generaly be taken for granted - another day CEO of a company whose dev tools I use and sell commented opensourcing of their flagship product on eWire in a way that most people concluded they are going out of business; they are blaming eWire editors now, of course ).

They should have included a few words and URL on empeg, though, although it is (was) not a publicly traded company and the whole affair is an aquisition, not a merger...

Anyway, I am optimistic. Good work again, guys@empeg!

The release was written by Andy Wolfe, SONICblue CTO, who is a man very much of the empeg spirit.
