"We are aware that the patent should not have issued in view of the prior art available to the patent office but not cited by Microsoft in its application," Moglen said. I'd say that's an offensive act, almost criminal. Microsoft certainly "gets" today's new technology business world better than most, and they're a very aggressive company. Are there humans running the Patent Office? I haven't heard anything human out of them, any human recognition of what's going on with patents. -todd -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
