A court could do anything it wants. It could declare the sky mauve, require you to stand on your head with a sign that says "This way to Babylon", or any number of insanities. However, when there is clearly a conservative, risk-averse position that can be taken, that's what we should take if possible. In this case, assuming that the license will remain intact is the conservative position. Don Armstrong -- G: If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what do we do?
