#184 - Stipulation for Dismissal

 

[Brent W]

Very sweet

 

[Blue]

Looks like Kier and Co have to bear their own legal fees. Bummer. They'll make it back.

 

[Calmcacil]

Can anyone explain what this means for use that dont really fully understand how the american legal system works?

 

[aculate]

Keeps getting sweeter by the day... This is good news...

 

[MikeJaquish]

So, do I put my 40 bucks into a license renewal, or just send a 2 liter of Southern Comfort?

This legal stuff is so confusing....

 

[Brent W]

Can I ship liquor overseas? If so, just have Kier send me a mailing address and I will.

This is excellent news! Hopefully we won't have to wait much longer for an official statement about the future of the software.

 

[jörgk]

i hope, that we now hear something from the boys. if yes, then i switch all my boards, in the next days, to xen.

sorry for my bad english

My comments below are pure speculation:

I'm not satisfied yet that this new information guarantees anything.
Do we know yet for sure if KAM still owns Xenforo?

 

[ibaker]

So the only people that won were IB and the Lawyers...the lawyers get their money and IB won by:
- damaging XF's reputation
- deferring any XF development for nearly a year
- costing XF a bucket load of money in legal fees
- and slowing any income to XF due to licence holders waiting to renew their licence(s)

although the cost of lawyers to IB is probably put down to the cost of "buying" the above

To me it seems XF lost but note this is just opinion

Yes,provided they don't have to sell it to pay their lawyers.

The company doesn't settle unless they believe they can continue as a company forward.

Note, that is just opinion.

 

[Dakis]

Isn't is just possible that the details of the settlement are not revealed in this document? Or is this the full story?

I think the details are going to remain private, we're just trying to guess at the general outcome.

 

[Brent W]

Yes, lets find some more **** to speculate on. It's what you all do best.

Oh ok, in that case we'll wait to hear from Kier I guess as to what happens from now on.

Speculation is a large part of everyday conversation. Were you not speculating above only a few minutes ago? I don't understand your anger.

I'm waiting on the official word, but I'll just throw in my two cents:

1. Xenforo is an incredible piece of software. I'm one satisfied customer in that regard.
2. If they need funds before continuing development, not only will I pay my renewal fee early, I'd be all the willing to throw in a bit more skin with something like a Kickstarter campaign. KAM has been through a lot, and assuming the case ended so far as Xenforo ownership and sales in their favor, they deserve a real chance at fighting back with amazing software.
