Alexander, McCoy, I stand corrected.

Respectfully, to Alexander: You are finding a lot of cases discussing various points, but quoting the full text of the cases, and especially very old cases, without tying it to current licenses or current jurisprudence, ends up being less helpful to me in evaluating the strength of your argument. I also note that you denigrate certain cases, for example your recent discussion of Jacobsen v. Katzer. I am sure you will find many people on this (and other) lists that are not fond of individual decisions, but from a practical perspective we must work with what we have. Thus dismissing such a decision out of hand again is less helpful, because it doesn't relate to how a practicing lawyer or judge would actually evaluate the state of the law. Thanks, Van
