As the English say:

"When has a horse got two a**holes?" 

"When there's one at the back and one on its back."

I was amused at the line:

 "Clearly, the free model just about killed our company, and I would argue that it's going to kill a lot of other software companies if the GPL [General Public License] is able to gain a foothold and run rampant throughout the industry."

and have translated it as best I can, not understanding American business-speak:

"Clearly, we made decisions which have ruined our company, so we've got to sue to try and recover share price. Otherwise a clearly better business model, Linux, which is gaining ground daily, will wipe out most current proprietry software companies."

Close enough?
