Don't jump to conclusions, especially bad ones.

They've filed for bankruptcy protection.  I don't know French law (I
believe it's based on Napoleanic Law vice Common Law -- someone correct me
if I'm wrong), but most countries have varying levels of "Bankruptcy". 
Expect Mandrake to be around for a while.  The management team did them no
good, but they have the business to recover from this.

Ciao,
