When Mitel bought e-smith, I bet they were mainly buying the people, intangibles, and marketing engine of e-smith. Most all of the code was/is GPL. In any event, the Lycoris deal was a bad joke. They didn't ever really DO anything other than make some press releases. I don't believe Lycoris actually paid any money to RSI, but perhaps some ownership was exchanged in a potential commercial effort (I don't know this for sure, just guessing). Greg
