Sure - so (it seems to me) rather hard for anyone except Sun to
prosecute an LGPL violation here - since it's quite possible that these
guys have a confidential agreement with Sun that makes it perfectly
legal for them to rip off people's code, and their customers, and get
away with it. How can we know that is not the case ? How can anyone be
sure if litigation was commenced, Sun wouldn't just settle for cash.
One of the deep joys of the JCA with it's single steward.
Is there an update on Butler Office ? they clearly have a nerve using
Microsoft's Office logo & claiming 100% compatibility too ;-)

Michael.
