Comment on AT&T sues Broadcom for refusing to renew perpetual license support
blegeg@lemmy.world 2 months agoAt enterprise scale I can see a contract for being able to renew your support contract. Aka for us to implement this, we expect you to support it but we aren’t going to pay you up front in case it doesn’t pan out or we drop the project.

contract “options” are indeed normal. You could also lump in government contracts into the category your thinking about. I’ve never heard of a scenario where the vendor broke contract by not honoring the options. I also have never dealt with a vendor getting bought out and then not honoring existing contracts. Super fun to watch the corporate drama.
