I do not believe this is so. The AIM (AOL Instant Messenger) was filed 1 year
after the GAIM project started. Copyright protection doesn't hold true from the
date inception but holds from a certain date after JDEdwards established
themselves. I assume that they have been around for a LONG time.
The only thing I think we can do at this point is to make a big stink. We
should post the letter online and send of e-mails to slashdot, linuxtoday, EFF,
politechbot, etc.
I think this is interesting. The JDE in Emacs and JDEdwards are SOOO different
it is insane.
