IBM might well think/realise that the spellchecking dictionaries their products use are not protected by copyright. That doesn't mean Rob, or some of IBM's customers, would have any right to redistribute them. You seem to be thinking copyright is the only form of intellectual property protection. > But I bet you can't. As they are copyrighted. Or because he has entered into a contract that forbids him.
