How is that quote unfortunate?

Reading his responses, he doesn't come off as the money-hungry psychopath that he was claimed to be. Either he knows how to hide his agenda very well, or, well, he's just your usual young founder.

After making a gesture to prove that he's a nice charitable guy who's interested in seeing Diaspora succeed, he likens it to a project deemed illegal by the CEO of his company.

It's not that crazy. Some companies thrive with competition. Microsoft enjoys having apple as competition and vice-versa. Microsoft bailed apple out a little over a decade ago for that exact reason.

He likened it to WireHog since both use peer to peer technology with some social networking aspects. WireHog was deemed illegal because it was designed specifically for file sharing. Diaspora is not designed specifically for file sharing and more for information sharing.
