This little witch hunt is getting annoying. The accusation that started this thread was the Greg Hammond had pirated the software. Subsequent messages cleared this up, and his exposure was to a legitimate copy of the software. Therefore, the piracy issue is resolved, and several members of this list, and one in particular seem to owe Mr. Hammond an apology for the accusation.
As to the NDA issue, it is not clear to me that there was any intention to break confidentiality - nor is it clear to me that a loan of a system would necessarily constitute a violation of the NDA. We would have to know a lot more about the circumstances of the loan of the system than has been presented in this forum to make that judgment, until then, as I recall, the principle is innocent until proven guilty. on 01.11.20 11:11 AM, Paul Berkowitz at [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > On 11/20/01 9:10 AM, "Greg Hammond" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > >> Besides, you are now dodging the point.
