I have a business relationship with them, and I don't look kindly on them disclosing my credit card information to third parties. If they wish to use someone else to act as the fulfillment agent to ship the order, it's up to them. But I'm still Wind River's customer and expect them to keep this sensitive information confidential and not disclose it to third parties. Oh well, fortunatly my credit card expired. But vendors doing business over the internet and using credit cards for payment should be very sensitive to this issue.
