I know. But given that Apple itself is alleging that a breach of its EULA results in a copyright infringement the court could have accepted arguendo the allegation as true and then rule that Apple is precluded to enforce its OS X copyrights *and patents* against anyone due to unlawful tying restriction until "the improper practice has been abandoned and the consequences of the misuse of the patent have been dissipated." Apple would then immediately announce to the world that tying restriction was a bad joke not to be taken seriously and file a notice of voluntarily dismissal. That would be justice. regards, alexander. -- http://gng.z505.com/index.htm (GNG is a derecursive recursive derecursion which pwns GNU since it can be infinitely looped as GNGNGNGNG...NGNGNG... and can be said backwards too, whereas GNU cannot.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
