This still confuses me. It's clear they wanted to 10x licensing costs and /10 customers which assumably raises margins, but i still dont see it working out.

My international enterprise and all our business partners moved every broadcom product we have to a competitor. On top of that, they were very aggressive and combative with their sales+cease and desist threats.

They earned enemies for life. Some of us care about business relationships. Broadcom is dead to me and anyone that will listen to me.
