dunno what being FOSS friendly or no has to do with alleged
'sharp' business practices, but ...

from TFA: 'When a GoDaddy customer forgets or otherwise fails
to renew a domain, GoDaddy sells it off ...'
If it expires, it expires. One no longer owns any interest in
it. So?
HOWEVER: As to prospective acquirers of an expired domain
(i.e., as a customer of 'TDNAM'), it would seen that a duty of
loyalty, not to 'poach' nor to favor one customer over another
except according to a previously agreed scheme, seems pretty
obvious.

This response from them seems apropos:
"Go Daddy has reviewed the auction and found nothing improper.
Adam Dicker's knowledge on the auction was no different from
what any customer coming to our TDNAM site would have had.
To ensure customer confidence and to avoid any possible future
questions of impropriety all GD employees are now and in the
future prohibited from participating in TDNAM auctions,
purchasing, sales & back orders."
