I think that calling them a scam is a thoughtless remark.

They presented at Pierce Law along with Richard Stallman , Dan Ravisher ( 
Free Software Foundation) and others on Law 
and Technology.

They said today you can no longer blindly ship software hoping you 
actually own everything in the software. There are
tools to allow the software to be validated. A management policy which 
forbids this regrettably does not work. This can result in expensive legal 
costs.
