indeed the legal system is so out of tune with reality that corporations use it not as a protector of their IP but as a financial tool to delay the competition's progress or even as an exit strategy from messy business failures. SCO uses the court to cut losses, other ran to register "Linux" as a trademark before Linus did... those things happen all the time, and the legal beurocracy allows this crap, lets those schmucks abuse the system and make a mockery of the courts directly and at constitutions and other laws indirectly. -- Member of the international hall of hunkhood Ira Abramov http://ira.abramov.org/email/ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
