»ALI Vertriebs- und Betriebsgesellschaft«
With start of the 2nd quarter 2010, the ALI software product was declared future property of the »ALI Vertriebs- und Betriebsgesellschaft«.
The name translates as »ALI marketing and business partnership«. In German
it abbreviates »ALI VEB«. This alludes to a perished socialist legal form and a derogatory nickname for cititzens of turkish decent. I am neither xenophobic, being a second generation migrant myself, and certainly harbor no nostalgic feelings for the GDR. I rather enjoy the irony. - Special thanks to Dr. Peter Brössler for discussing the partnership articles.
Technical Reports
