Wouldn't the buyer notify either the retailer, or, preferably, the manufacturer? Might there not be multiple copyright owners?

The manufacturer is distributing binaries, so must make the source available to its customers. -Thufir _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
