Merlancia has Genesi under "partners", and I'm pretty sure that's a two-way thing (ie I can't sell hot dogs on the street and say that Oscar Meyer are my partners)
Merlancia are no "partner" of Genesi. Period.
As everyone else, Merlancia is free to buy a Pegasos motherboard and do with it whatever they like. That does not make them a business partner of Genesi. End of story.
