Nah, it's spam, OP has posted the same question at P.D multiple times across various communities. Dude either somehow doesn't know forum ettiquite or is a bot.

The real kicker is that I'm fairly sure we aren't really using them at any real scale - if we do it's to demo our product within the context of AI development. So if anything, they get a lot of free press when we do that. If they're gonna throw a fit over it, I'm sure we can work with some other "AI" company (that's what they bill themselves as) that wants the free marketing. Heck, I can't imagine the anaconda ecosystem working out if they keep threatening the developers that enrich that ecosystem.

Yes, I am aware.

I'm more asking if others are getting a wide spread of threatening messages across the org - even if they don't regularly use conda/anaconda.

It's like everyone glossed over "I don't use it in my job at all, and neither do my teammates" bit.

Send the emails to your company’s legal team. It’s not your fight.

Already did, and agreed. I also asked the legal team if they could ask Anaconda.com to stop contacting me and threatening me personally. We shall see what happens.

I'm not here to discuss the nuances of a startup versus medium sized company. Suffice it to say that much of the organization still views itself as a startup. Even though yes, you are right, it's a medium sized organization.

Sure. I can agree that my company would be liable. But the company isn't mine. I just work here. And my team doesn't use any conda stuff at all.

Essentially, I am being personally threatened of a lawsuit even though I have no ability to make a licensing or purchase decision.

That just doesn't sit right with me.
