Maybe the risk of litigation with HCN is a bit overstated - I have in the past 
harshly criticised their product MDW on this list and others, but never had 
threats of litigation from them. On some occasions Andrew Magennis defended 
the product or discussed what was stated, but that was that.

I submitted once an article to OzDoc re their password encryption which in my 
view was dangerously simple, which OzDoc then didn't publish out of "legal 
concerns", retrospectively understandable (though beats me why HCN didn't fix 
that problem for even years after I told them directly and indirectly). But I 
received no legal threats around that either.

Is anybody aware of any litigation threats of HCN against *customers* or users 
of other software  criticising their product - I am only aware of a 
litigation case against a commercial competitor, and I believe that one was 
settled out of court anyway
