It isn't a copyright, it is a patent. BIG DIFFERENCE. Even when it does
expire, it probably won't free us though because they probably have side
patents that will still cover their existing patents. Don't be fooled into
thinking that 9-2000 will free us.

There are clearly written FAQ's and documentation that explain all this
stuff.
