I believe that most of the time in our history, the only means of protecting knowledge has using trade secrets. This is easily understood by laymen, doesnt need unfair and easily compromised government regulations, and in many cases easier to enforce. When knowledge has spread in spite of the owners wanting to keep it secret, it has happened due to leaks or reverse engineering. - Sandip -- Sandip Bhattacharya * Puroga Technologies * [EMAIL PROTECTED] Work: http://www.puroga.com * Home/Blog: http://www.sandipb.net/blog PGP/GPG Signature: 51A4 6C57 4BC6 8C82 6A65 AE78 B1A1 2280 A129 0FF3 _______________________________________________ ilugd mailinglist -- [email protected] http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/
