I'm not a lawyer. I'm a programmer. But I learned a bit about laws. Hopefully enough to know when I need to ask a lawyer and what. I know about copyrights laws. I know about patent laws. I know about trademarks. I know about property laws. I know of contract laws. I am not aware of any intelectual property laws. -- Tzafrir Cohen | [EMAIL PROTECTED] | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's [EMAIL PROTECTED] | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
