Quoting our house troll isn't going to help you. Furthermore all his assertions are just short sighted ramblings.
Take many steps back until you see the big picture here. But let me help you: The big picture says that FTDI's actions cause extra hassle for checking suppliers, testing chips, testing drivers, recalling products from customers, dealing with having the boards reworked, delivery delays, later payments, etc, etc. All this is just extra work you don't get paid or compensated for. If you like to work for free be my guest but I rather pass. I just use a component which isn't lucrative to clone so I know I get the real deal and the end-products installed at customers keep working because nobody messes with the drivers. Nobody really cares what or who is right or wrong!
