Borland Backs Down

Seriously though, it's good to see a company respond to the voices of the online community, and admit it made a mistake. Good job Borland."

    I don't understand why this was presented as backing down as opposed to a mistake as to which license gets associated with which product.

    There's no reason not to believe them that this was an error and had not reflected a conscious effort to change licenses on individual instances.
