That's one interpretation of course, but a surprising one for someone who is actually invested, who you would imagine might have a slightly more upbeat view of the BoDs intentions and capabilities.
For myself, I prefer to think that they did all in their power to make the best of a bad job, and only notified that the deal was done and dusted when a) they were certain of SInophi's intent and b) that there was no contractual and/or legal recourse to that decision that could reasonably be expected to be successful.
A parting on good terms leaves the door open in the future once a working prototype is in place if nothing else.
