looks like Spansion flash memory was better than edig's. Plus they got cross licensing. I agree that the NDA is because of the outstanding claims but after numerous settlements, it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that the flash is not worth as much as it has been bantered about on this board. Then when you divide the settlement figures at the end of the year by the number of shares...well we need a better source of income to get to the magical number of 7bucks a share.
