[Blindtlk] Fwd: Freedom Scientific and Serotek Announce TrademarkAccord

[Bryan Schulz]

hi all,

BS in 30pt bold font,

Regardless of any opinion of the freedom box usb keychain product or 
attitudes discovered in person a few years ago, FS knew ST would have to 
fold due to having the short stack of chips.
The only common denominator was the word freedom.
Bryan
