Yes. IP disputes and claims of misuse of proprietary code are about *money*. People who bring suit over things like that are either afraid they might be losing money because their IP was appropriated, or are attempting to erect legal roadblocks to competition. Bringing such suits takes time, money and effort, and aren't done casually or on a whim. What money is there in MSDOS or open source equivalents now? What would make MS or anyone else toss lawsuits around affecting it? I'm not aware of anything. There may have been back when the FreeDOS project began, but I suspect that point is long past. ______ Dennis https://plus.google.com/u/0/105128793974319004519 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Site24x7 APM Insight: Get Deep Visibility into Application Performance APM + Mobile APM + RUM: Monitor 3 App instances at just $35/Month Monitor end-to-end web transactions and take corrective actions now Troubleshoot faster and improve end-user experience.
