Lets not forget the debacle where a third party company designed a cheap and permament fix for the ice cream machines and mcdonalds responded by comiting libel against that company. The company that makes the ice cream machine then outright stole their IP (found to have outright copy pasted code with comments and all) and briefly sold it as their own fix before I belive discontinuing it.
Kind of like the ice cream machine fix version of ‘embrace, extend, extinguish’ but with all the finesse of beating someone up in an alley.
