"Let me put this another way - the logic you are using here is the same as if I said that all car manufactorures other than Ford are ripping off Ford [since Ford was the first internal combusion engine car that was made] After all, they all build cars which carry people and luggage, etc, on roads using basically the same engineering principles." Um, actually, that is Ford's postion. Has been since 1924, when they sued for infringement of patents on several carmakers. It's also incorrect. Ford was not even close to the first with the IC engine. Ford's contribution to automaking was mass production and efficiency of such. tsk tsk "so tell me, how many of the DAZ staff have gone to prison because of D|S? Zero? Oh, guess they didn't do that then. " well, technically, guess is correct. For one, you'd have to be aware of it. Unlikely you would be. For another, it wouldn't result in jail time for the programmers unless it was established they acted independently. For yet a third, the most likely result would be court imposed financial penalty, not jail time. And, lastly, it assumes that they aren't simply waiting for it to go gold. Since Only EFA can pursue it, and the choice of when to do is strictly theirs, it is not unreasonable to think that they are letting them dig a grave. Thoretically speaking, of course. The point being that, um, ya muffed it. giggles Hell of a try, though.

thou and I, my friend, can, in the most flunkey world, make, each of us, one non-flunkey, one hero, if we like: that will be two heroes to begin with. (Carlyle)
