There are times where in order to survive as a business, you have to do things which will seem unfair to various companies. It is a fact of life. Whether we agree or disagree with FIRST's decisions as of this point, the fact of the matter is they are trying to do what they feel is best for FIRST as a company. It might be the right move, it might be the wrong move, but GP does not factor into that score.
Andy, I agree with your statement.

However, I think his point was that IFI (or any partner, vendor, etc) should not learn of a business decision on FIRST's part through an internet forum like Chiefdelphi, and I agree. That's not good business practice.
