  1. Leaked info under NDA? by Max+von+H. · · Score: 5
    It seems this info wasn't really supposed to be public for a while, according to a poster on the site who noted the first paragraph of the announcement was missing:

    "This letter is sent to all Mandrakesoft shareholders and employees. It gives more details about MandrakeSoft IPO plans. Please keep this letter private - you can say that we do an IPO, but you cannot give any detail until we get the COB agreement."

    Can anyone from Mandrake confirm this? For those who don't know, the COB is the French equivalent to the SEC. I'd hate to see the guys at Mandrake get into trouble for that...
