Z:gnu-www-ja-udi--d573a0-One difficulty with any deal w/en

One difficulty with any deal with Intel about UDI is that we would do our part for Intel at the beginning, but Intel's payback would extend over a long time. In effect, we would be extending credit to Intel. But would Intel continue to repay its loan? Probably yes, if we get it in writing and there are no loopholes; otherwise, we can't count on it. Corporations are notoriously untrustworthy; the people we are dealing with may have integrity, but they could be overruled from above, or even replaced at any time with different people. Even a CEO who owns most of the stock can be replaced through a buy-out. When making a deal with a corporation, always get a binding commitment in writing.
