Fluke Donates Multimeters To SparkFun As Goodwill Gesture

Actually, I do RTFA writes "We recently heard about the confiscation of a delivery of multimeters to SparkFun for infringing on Fluke's trademark. One common thread in the discussions was the theme that Fluke should have let that shipment through as a goodwill gesture to SparkFun and the Maker community. Well, Fluke did one better. They announced they were sending more than $30k worth of official multimeters to SparkFun for them to do whatever they want with. SparkFun is most likely going to give them away. A great example of win-win-win?"

The winner is fascism, and the people are the loser. If you give with one hand what you have taken with your other, you're not behaving any more morally than I am sitting on my ass doing nothing.
Confiscate equipment because it has a particular word written on it? What the hell is wrong with society?
