So what happens to Sun's patent pledge on OASIS ODF which has sun patents? Next in gunsight MySQL followed by OpenOffice? Defensive patents are nuclear bombs in the basement waiting for the next madman to massage the trigger. The really ironical part is the individual creators of the software who locked out others thru patents are now locked out themselves. -- Rgds JTD _______________________________________________ network mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fosscom.in/listinfo.cgi/network-fosscom.in
